But Officer, I Really HAVE a License
Simon | August 18, 2007I am going abroad for an extended period and will need to drive to get around. So I got myself an International Driving Permit.
I paid RM160 for the permit and to my surprise what I got is a cheap-looking, beige-colored booklet. One would expect a proper driving permit to be in the form of a plastic card or something. Why do us Malaysian have to settle for an International Driving Permit that resembles a primary school report card? Because “Malaysia Boleh” lor.
If I ever get asked for my driving permit when I’m abroad, I hope I don’t have to convince them that the dodgy-looking paper booklet is REALLY my driving permit. And I didn’t made it up myself by stapling a few piece of paper together and printing my name on it.
Fingers crossed.
Simon used to think that he's got life all figured out.
Hey, seems like I have the same yellow report card
antuHey, seems like I have the same yellow report card too. Paid Rm150 for it and yes we only get this cheap looking card. Does not even have any security features other than the UV ink strips. Kedak boleh molah sendiri jak tok… hehhehe
