  I might be driving my organisation's passenger van with PA XXXX CarPlate into Malaysia next year for a retreat.
  
  So would like to know from others here if they've drove PA passenger van into Malaysia, as well as any requirements and licences needed.
  
  Your assistance is much appreciated as LTA literally told me that's it beyond their purview, and didn't feed more informations after that.

  Not so much about PA or not PA and nothing about LTA.
  
  BUt you must find out from malaysian side if they have any laws prohibiting a vehicle of certain purpose are allowed to be in Malaysia.
  
  At the minimum, you have to find out if you have insurance coverage in Malaysia for you current PA bus.
  
  Usually Malaysia prohibit bus that conducts touring business in Malaysia. So i guess you need to ensure the laws allow what you are doing in Malaysia with a PA bus

  Maybe I should contact Malaysia High Commissioner to find out the exact informations.
