The rejection letter usually says something about being able to drive on valid national passport, international licence or take the local driving test (that's what it used to say anyway).

The only new bit was national licences needed validating by the issuer.

A friend of mine had the same issue, it took him about 3 trips to Putrajaya to get it done. Your country is on the 'B' list (like the US) and it's not automatic. It used to be very easy, fill out the form, submit the paperwork (passport, home DL (certified by your embassy)), marriage certificate and spouse's IC - or work visa for employment passes) and wait two months. Go to the nearest JPJ branch with the approval print out - DONE get your license. My friend was rejected three times for various reasons including once without a reason and his daughter still hasn't received a license.

I'd recommend that you gather all the paperwork and make a trip to Putrajaya and speak to an officer of best their 'SUPERVISOR' (not the person at the desk - they can't do anything, normally just tell you to submit to a local office again waste of time).

Great question. I had NO problems 2-1/2 years ago, early this year my friend was rejected. Since then I've only heard of a couple of approved convetsions.
