Its not bad for the first timer to drive in Malaysia. The most important thing is to have Touch n Go card with sufficient amount of money bc all highway now accept only e-money. Hope to see you driving more to another states.

The Perodua stalks are on different sides because they’re based on Daihatsu cars. Japanese cars use their own stalk standard known as the JIS standard. If you drive the other Malaysian car, Proton, you’ll have the stalk on the proper side. Also, driving in Malaysia is stressful on the account of the damn motorcyclists. I had driven in LA when I was there on vacation, and it was heaven compared to driving down Kuala Lumpur roads!

We generally pay our toll cashless. You need the Touch 'n Go card which u can purchase and top up at most convenient stores. The yellow Smartag lane is for payment for TnG card slotted into a TnG device. So yeah.. we don't really carry around cash much here

I usually drive from Singapore to KL to visit friends and relatives. If you wish to avoid those small towns, use the North South Plus Highway , the cost isn't much. Go to Tapah toll and exit from the toll in order to go Cameron Highlands. Avoid weekends and peak hours where people are driving to work 8am to 9am or going back from work 5pm to 7pm. When you see the car in front of you changed lane in front of the toll, it means the gate has a problem. Bezza Perodua is not Proton. It is Perodua car company. Those dogs belongs to non muslim farmers (oil palm, vegetables) and they are the guards for the plantations. Sadly, when the dog's population grows, some of them become stray dogs. One last advice to drive in KL, you need to be brave to stick your nose out a bit by bit in order to come out of a junction or else drivers would horn you from behind if waited too long in a queue. KL's driving is adventurous but not as gentle as Singapore's driving. You miss one nice highland about half an hour from Rawang. It is called Fraser's Hill. Up there, there is a golf field and a nice British vibe founded by Mr Fraser. Enjoy. Things to do in Fraser's Hill kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ac2UdpeayLGVlKs.html (From Singapore)

Hi there. The 'eye brow' or top shade tint on the top of windscreen is to reduce the sun glare due to the nature of weather in malaysia. It makes driving more comfortable and less stress to the eyes. Not everyone would wear sunglasses, especially those wearing spectacles. And the tint is allowed by Road Transport Department. You will appreciate it when its not there. But anyway, you made it yeay! We must celebrate.

It's usually the Japanese made or Japanese designed cars use the blinkers on the right side of the wheel. Otherwise, continental or American cars use the blinkers on the left.

U can see the signboard have that alphabet and numbering before the name of place and road. Example E18 cheras. And at the waze and google maps also there is that alphabet and numbering too.
