Hi Singapore Drivers: What to Do If You’re Hit by a Malaysian Vehicle 🇸🇬🚗🇲🇾
Recently, I experienced a situation where my car was hit by a Malaysian-registered vehicle. The driver, Mr Mamat, initially promised to cover the repair costs — but later became uncontactable and switched off his phone.
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, here are the steps you should take immediately:
✅ 1. Collect full details on the spot
Driver’s full name (as per IC/passport)
Vehicle number & photos
Contact number (verify by calling on the spot)
Take clear photos/videos of damage, surroundings, and driver
✅ 2. File a police report ASAP
Especially important for foreign vehicles. This creates an official record and protects your case.
✅ 3. Report to your insurer within 24 hours
Even if the other party promises to pay — don’t rely on verbal agreements.
✅ 4. Check for VEP / entry records if needed
Authorities may be able to trace the vehicle if it re-enters Singapore.
✅ 5. Consider legal or claims options
Cross-border recovery is difficult, but not impossible with proper documentation.
⚠️ Important reminder:
Do not trust verbal promises alone — always protect yourself with proper documentation and official reporting.
