Expat Go is looking for freelance writers (paid) and guest contributors (non-paid) to write about cars, driving in Malaysia, and perhaps even the whole Malaysian transport scene. We are looking for quality writers to contribute fascinating stories with a connection to Malaysia. Could you be the latest member of our growing team?
Expat Go attracts over 120,000 monthly online readers (i.e. unique users verified by Google Analytics). The website attracts an internationally minded group of readers, comprising Malaysians and expats.
Freelance Contributors (Paid)
Freelance contributors are paid writing opportunities. To qualify for a freelance writing opportunity, you must have had at least some work published and any article you contribute to Expat Go must be exclusive to the site. If you don’t meet this criteria, consider our Guest Contributor opportunity below. Here are some thoughts to help get you started.
Article formats:
- Feature: These are well-researched stories about a particular subject
- Listicle: These are curated lists providing concise insights on things to do or places to go to
- Photo Essay: These are photo driven stories with some text to provide context or clarification
How to contribute?
Send a short email to at [email protected] with the following info:
- ‘Driving Freelancer Writer’ in the email subject line
- What you’d like to write about – specifically within the world of motoring and cars
- What experience you have that qualifies you to write about your chosen topic
- The basic points you want to make in your piece

Guest Contributors (Non-paid)
Guest contributions are non-paid writing opportunities, but you’ll get a byline so it’s a great way to get exposure to a large number of engaged readers. This is useful for writers who want to re-publish existing articles they wrote elsewhere. Also, if you haven’t had any work published yet, this is a good starting point.

Professional driving, or staying alive on Malaysian roads?
Neither, really 😉 More like how to get around, which cars are good value – that kind of thing
Driving in Malaysia, few rules to follow…
– Be selfish, think about yourself and yourself only, everyone else will do the same!
– Do not use your indicators, the more you use them, the less lilely people will let you pass!
– Lose the good manners and respect for others on the road, never ever say thank you if someone lets you through, let one person through to see how it’s done!
– One way street are actually two way streets, work that one out!
– Redlights should mean stop, but here it simply means slow done and if nothing is coming, jump it! can lahhh!
– Russell Peters talks about India having a lane called “create a lane” which is simply if you see a gap, you take it and go! Malaysia has since adapted itself to this and works a treat!
– Road signs are only seen by certain people, such as yourself, they don’t really mean anything, just part of the decoration!
*** This is by no means all Malaysians, but after driving here for almost a year, I feel that this sums it up nicely ***
