Need to buy from the current bike insurance company.

If your bike is insured by Etiqa, then you can purchase from them.

Not sure if this is a norm for Betong immigration, but I just encountered this recently.. So hopefully whoever doesn't know yet, can know the risk..
Firstly is the duty free terms has changed.. No matter how long you stayed, you can't bring back duty free cigarettes.. (previously can buy one box (10packets) if you stayed minimum 4d3n..
Secondly, they recently started to randomly spot check on motorcycle as well, especially with boxes installed.. (previously I went they never checked).. And this time (yesterday), even my friend who doesn't have any box or luggage, was asked to open up his waist pouch for checking..
Thirdly, and for the first time in so many years I went.. Traffic police joining the border police (the last check right after duty free building).. Issuing summons to vehicles.. 2 of us had slip-on exhaust installed, but luckily never summoned.. But one of my friend was summoned due to plate number regulation..
Hopefully all can take note on these, and be prepared if there's any mods that's not allowed on your bike..

yes its on and off, sometimes got checking sometimes clear. The worst part if the Roadblock include KKM, then you will be check for Drugs (Ganja and Kratom too) from your urine.

So its luck I guess.

Tips, try to do your trip during working days not weekend. And try to avoid 9am till 3 pm when crossing the MY border back, if possible earliest in the morning or if you dare crossed just before it closes (the border) but just be careful when ride during Dusk through Grik.
