Your license is good enough if you still have the physical one.
There is no international driving licence, it is international driving permit.
Which is merely a supplementary document that translates your Malaysian driving license.

why this website (not jpj official website) mentioned that you need to surrender LMM to change to idp?

last time i wanted to drive at aus, they told me just do license translation which cost me rm20 only iirc.
then i wanted to drive at japan and needed idp for rm150/year.

if what u said is true, does that means i got conned by jpj?
an idp is just a translation to our LMM?

Yup you got conned. Jpj happy to take money from you if you want to give.
I already did idp many times never surrender malaysia driving license also.

Don't know what you pay for.

The old laminated license was BM only, and hence needed to be translated before it could be used in Aus.

When they moved to the physical card, it became dual-language and valid for use in Aus.

but if idp only for translation, then would we need to translate again?

That one long time ago in BM. We switch to the new one in with English to ease these issues.
That is why a lot of people say going backwards.

that means our license valid for oversea use and no need idp already right since u said it just translate our license?
exception maybe some countries require idp like japan perhaps

Nope. I've driven in Perth and Melbourne for years with the card license, not laminated. Know shitloads of Malaysians who do also.

Many officers in Perth know how to read our DOB on our license.

card license? as in the new card license that's like credit card?
