in case of emergency.... malaysia area anywhere anytimes

[Sawadii]

what should one do when met with accident in Malaysia or Thailand? what are the things to take note?

[wildwilly]

Hi All,

 

I guess it can be useful if somebody can advise what to do when our bike broke down in malaysia. e.g. North South Highway, met with an accident (touch wood!)...

 

i mean, who can we turn to for help? Their contact no, What are the charges etc.

 

It will be great if someone can share their uneventful experience here and advise members on how to take charge of their situation...

 

 

cheers

there are many telephone booths at a regular interval.. u can use the hotline to call the control center.. then they will send help...

 

there are also patrol services... meaning got tow truck prowling the highway,... so dun need to worry.... they will help u to tow ur vehicle to the nearest exit

The best solution is to carry a Phone with auto-roaming.

i tried to sign up with AAS who has a working relationship with AAM but they don't take bikes (even though they form got that category). i guess it will be good to carry phone numbers of malaysian bike shops and even AAM (24hrs hotline. tell them you are not member and have placed your head on their chopping board... see whether they want to help or not).

 

police and ambulance numbers are a must.

The tow services are free for cars only as they pay toll. Bikes have to pay. .... very expansive. Towing from Malacca to JB causeway can cost about RM$600

[dolfin]

Check out Bikebulance @ http://www.bikebulance.com. They claim able to handle bike recovery in West M'sia, but I've never tried it before.

 

Anyone knows?

[Guest sayangk]

if ur bike breakdown in malaysia, STAY close to ur bike at all times. i kena accident near the Skudai toll. about 400m away. the highway patrol told me they put my bike at the TOLL but when i came back from the hospital, my bike nowhere to be seen. in the end, those bas***d call the tow truck and tow my bike to Kulai Police Station. about 30 mins away when the toll was like 2 mins away. and ######! they tow truck ppl ask for RM150 b4 they hand me my keys. i was in pain so i can`t fight back... if u ever make a police report, DON`t pay any money to the policemen. if they insist, ask for reciept and later, complain to their headquarters.

My advice would be...

 

1) Troubleshoot n solve it urself first. call ur regular mech or friends for advice

2) Get a local mechanic who knows bout ur bike n hopefully can help....

3) Finally only find tow company...

 

There is a list of bike shops address and phone numbers for every state in one of the websites....com died lost tht website too...if i found will post it here

 

PS: BTW one guy from SBF once said tht a few calls will not solve ur problem wor...so i suppose he just wait there n rot hiak hiak hiak...

PPS: No flaming hor just my two cents worth of advice...

maybe you guys can invest in buying a book called. Motoring in NSH. Something like dat.

 

I bought it in KL RM10. It contain all the number u need.

 

Let say u broke down at Alor Gajah. It has number for PRIVATE hospital,Car workshop, Bike shops, Towing Company.

 

It also provide u brief details the design and the surrounding of the NSH. It also mention of "illegal towing truck" along the highway to prey on the desperately accident or brokedown car driver or bikes.

 

For those going to get tow truck. Pls neg the price first. Else kena ketok..die no place to run

 

NSH also provide FREE towing services(bikes NOT included). The towing crew will assist the driver in any situation. Minor repair they are able to assist. Major repair they will try to fix it. Else they will tow it to the nearest exit. From there the owners will then decide what to do.

 

For those want to get a hand on the book. Pls PM or i can bring the book down for your reference.

Friend of mine had the misfortune of needing his bike towed back to Singapore ...

The tow crew mnetioned that there is a charge at immigration / custom, S$190/-

thus their profit actually not that much ...

 

Tow was about S$350/- from Pagoh, with a change of M'sian tow truck to a Singapore one at checkpoint ...

 

Anyone knows of this offical tow/importation charge?

 

or is it pocket money for immigration ??? All the papers (insurance / log card / road tax) were in order, so why still need kopi money ????

[servoprax]

$350 SGD ? Thats very unfortunate. upon reaching MY custom, he might as well push his bike across the causeway to SG side and down the slope to Wdlds and get a local tow truck to fetch.

 

Think the best way is to ring up AAS ( Automobile association SG ) and ask since AAS also has a branch in Malaysia. At least these people are a credible bunch. Give them a ring.

 

Might want to check out those car groups whose member vehicles were involved in a collision or incident requiring a tow back.

[arjen]

For what I know, You only require the bike logcard (to prove that its SGP registered) and Insurance for the bike.

 

Thats all.

 

$350 is totally a rip off.
