By the way - may I ask how much you paid for the insurance? I guess it is third party insurance and of the length of a month? I have inquried by email to Beraya Sompo Insurance Berhad and put a bike dealer and insurance agent on the case.
I went to the Multi Purpose Insurans office in Georgetown Penang and asked for an insurance but as soon as I explained that it was a foreign motorbike they turned me down...

Malaysian insurance is pretty expensive - I got a couple of Malay contacts that ride 1200GS, do you want to speak with them ?
Take me 5 mins to get a reply.
Did you also call into the JYJ office at the border, you need to exchange your IDP for a Malay driving permit sticker.

Hi there Recom273
I just want a third party insurance for a short period of time, max a month. Havent been expensive in other countries along from Europe to here. But if it cost thousands of Ringit I guess I skip it.
What is JYJ office by the way? I crossed the thai-malay border at Wang Prachan - Wang Kelian border crossing. And there hardly anything else than the immigration shack there....
I am in contact with bikers, bikeshops that sells insurances, have sent mails to insurance companies but so far no one has been able to help me. If youre friend can help me for sure 100 % - then please put me in touch with him. If not - dont bother.
