Coming in by land borders doesn't seem to be a problem, but shipping the bike into malaysia is a different story. I shipped from Australia to KL, and to clear my carnet with customs I had to get an ICP (international circulation permit), and to obtain this they required Malaysian Insurance. I spent a week and a half in Kuala Lumpur trying to buy insurance and nobody would sell it to me because the bike wasn't registered in Malaysia. Even the Malaysian Motoring Association couldn't get it for me. They had ICP's, but wouldn't sell me one without insurance. Finally I went to the JPJ headquarters (agency that issues the icp) and I used my Australian insurance (green slip), which got me one in 5 minutes. Everyone including the motoring association told me this would be impossible. It was free.
