The red book is only given out by government clinics, which in your case yes Klinik Kesihatan. I would advice you to get the booking done in a government clinic, it is ok if you wish to continue your subsequent checkups at a private center, unless you've decided to deliver at a private center.
If not it would be better to get the booking done at a KK because if you need to deliver at a government hospital, that would make things easier for the doctors there. Hope it helps.
this..
based on my experience, we did go to both, KK and private.. Our reasons were :-
1) we want to have much advises as we could (nurse and doctors at KK, OnG Specialist at private)
2) medicine-free! at KK
3) just in case, if my wife needs to deliver the baby at government hospital
but at KK, bare in mind you need to take annual leave for that... there will be a loooong queue... so what we did were, we set the appointment to be held at 2 PM, so we just need to take half day leave... and also, during the 3rd trimester, you may need to seek for consultation for every 2 weeks, and then every week until deliver..
congratz!
