The three-alphabet Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur number plate series is nearing an end, and those longing for a ‘WWW’ registration number have just a short wait before a bidding war starts. Besides the nice triple alphabet arrangement, ‘WWW’ also stands for the World Wide Web.
Interested parties can place their bookings with the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Road Transport Department (JPJ) beginning April 30. Minister of Transport Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said order books will be open for 14 days, from 8 am till noon daily till May 14, adding that huge interest could see the ‘WWW’ series record the highest booking price in the country.
He said the value of a premium number from digit 1 to 10 will open with a minimum selling price of RM10,000, while “attractive numbers” would be sold at a minimum of RM2,000. The “popular numbers” category and running numbers open at a minimum of RM300. Booking forms can be downloaded from the JPJ website.
The highest bid for a number plate so far is MCA1, which sold for RM300,100 in 2010. The Melaka reg no surpassed the previous record of RM242,000 for TAY1, issued by JPJ Terengganu. What is your dream registration number, and how much are you willing to pay to secure it?

Malaysians are always very good at wasting money. sigh..
Still better than some country where you have to bid for plate number before owning a car.
Still better!? Didn’t you even think before talking (posting in this case). Nothing is better than wasting money you dolt.
the only avenue where graft is legit

If others are idiots, do we have to be idiots as well?
Anyway all go to JPJ….and they will be laughing…
hope the MCA $ is not the peoples money if you get my drift?
It’s just a transfer of money from buyer to seller. Nothing wasted. The buyer willing pay so much also didn’t complain. Just treat it as collecting extra revenue from the wealthy to others. No harm what. WWW99 wonder how much?
nice E36
The most highly sought after E36 in Malaysia…
Wonder when the vehicle stolen together with this premium plates….

I think the E36 in the picture belongs to Paul la, the no. plate is for illustration purpose only…

TAIWAN
just because the alphabet is repeating 3 times can be consider nice?
i don’t consider WWW nice in any way besides its association to the ‘world wide web’. last time got pahang plate CCC, normal only to me.
plate like PEE, CAR, PAS, MCA, BBQ, etc can consider nice to me.
wonder what maney people pay for MAT1?….or nobody dares take the number….
It was on a previous generation Honda CRV.
Yup….I saw the car once…got the picture of the plate number in my mobile.
yeah, ex-CM for melaka – rahim tamby chik bought it for 40K. used on his CRV. (he has a collection of no.1 plates thoughh… during his days as chief minister.
There’s an E or S class with TAX1 plate.
I did saw CRV with plate no MAT 1.
I wonder if WWW 404 is available or missing?
nice one. hehe.
in any case, WWW 403 is forbidden =)
what jpj does with all this money?
Isi perut pengarah JPJ… Oppsss…. isi perut PM… Oppsss…. Isi perut ko la. Tepuk air kat dulang kena muka sendiri. Ko jugak yg menjerit2 minta subsidi petrol la, gula la, tepung la…..
To recover back $500 given to those rakyat
JPJ Wilayah trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Just to stir up emotions in order to collect more $$ !!
No big deal – did Johoreans get any richer with JJJ ?
Better use the $$ to pay off your 9 year loan
Takde duit cakaplah takde duit….. Org lain ramai lagi nak booking
After this running number ends, whats next?
Is it WAAA XXXX or W XXXX A?
when all completed, JPJ wilayah will close shop. no more registration.
car buyers have to register at other states. ha ha ha
i’m waiting for Perlis plate number..RM 1..hopefully can buy it for rm1…LOL
Unfortunately big mama would already have booked the number and she won’t pay even RM1 for it…
Imaging driving a BMW with WWW 888 …..nice…
Ive seen a W220 s-class (if i’m not mistaken) with plate number TAH11..
wonder how much that fella paid for it hihihihi!
MY car rim dented n MY tyre cracked n pancit after went in a pot hole,,,does anyone know if it can be claimed from dbkl? BecoZ this thing is really frustrating,pay hightoad tax n car tax n so on yet road quality is like third world country,,,so this time around I want to make the claim,,,
WWW 1111 maybe can be “susun” like this? WWW \ / \ / hahaha
wonder who will buy PUK 1 or 11, 111, 1111
All these “lucky” or “special” number thing are rich man’s game. Seriously, why only limit to car plate, phone number and house number? Where do we draw the line? It is all about showing off and letting people see.
If this number game is that important, maybe should check out the serial number at the back of the handphone or even your TV.
I do think these license plates are interesting. As long as the buyers are using their own hard earn money to buy, it is not a problem. But not at the cost of rakyat’s money or other people’s money.
The only numbers that I really check and watch out is my health report and bank account. Watch out these first.
I would pay a hefty sum for a number plate that reads ‘LMFAO 88′ for my new M3
beammer….:-) . Can JPJ come-up with one?
Hmm – these days , all the runners at JPJ buy up any vaguely decent numbers and flog them off for lots of money – I got my last plate 811 at RM210 – no chance in hell of getting that now! I went to JPJ to choose number and nothing with decent numbers was available. I was given a runners list of numbers available and they were all above RM2k
jpj sells reg number very untung bersih….what a waste but rich people think the different way
PAUL ! Brunei launched New Civic already. why malaysia always so sloww :/ http://www.bruneicarzine.com/2012/02/new-honda-civic-in-town-sleeker-and.html
I thought is CITY.
i saw a black 2nd gen CRV MAT 1. but “1″ is placed below “MAT”. haha
MAT4 is for illuminati freaks
www stands for wa … waa … waaaaaaa
The only sequence I am looking forward to is Selangor’s BMW…it would look odd on other cars beside the obvious.
Yeah, so many BLM’s on EX5, Lorries, MyVis, Vioses and Hiaces. BLM on Proton Saga BLM can only seen in Shah Alam and Klang rather than near KL area such as Petaling, Gombak and Ampang. I believe that WWW still can’t beat BMW highest price bid and I believe for example BMW 730, BMW 7301, BMW 740, BMW 7401, BMW 750, BMW 7501, BMW 760, BMW 7601. It will reach more than RM 600K even reaching RM 2 million. My prediction that BMW 1 will bought by Auto Bavaria director. BMW will have very nice combination because suitable both BMW cars (example car model BMW 320 from BMW 320i or BMW 320d, model series such as BMW 39 from BMW E39) and BMW motorcycles (example BMW 1300 from BMW K1300S motorcycle)
WWW number plates will very popular among computer geeks (like me) or W number plate fans.
E dirty six!
another stupid fascination which JPJ take advantage…
My dream number would be RM1 then I’ll buy a Bugatti Veyron to use that number…
Better buy Agusta
Agusta is not expensive enough to be tagged with the RM1 price…
Just waste of money..
RM200K can buy a house or another car.
Wonder if really jpj take an advantage on this?
yah, bid high-high…
but when selling of the car, nobody is gonna compensate for the money spent on the plate previously.
Anyway, business can can do it…..their money, their own syok-syok….
Be careful oso, when driving cars with single digit or special plate no. A lot of criminals target such ppl that could afford cars with special no.
ah you say that, but you forgot that plates are transferable.
agreed. Obviously talking out of his arse…
Hardly anyone sells of their old car before first transfering the prized number plate to their spanking new car
btw some kickass number plates I HAVE SEEN (not necessarily my favourites to own):
PEN 15
BAB 1
JED 1
Nah… I think with a good plate people will buy the car just for the plate. Viva also worth a lot then…
www77 will cost more than 50k minimum bid. already got info
Nothing beats a Merc I saw once – DAD 69.
this is so wrong hehe
only idiot will buy MCA1 plate
MCA 4444 is the best number
The Sultan of Johor has the coolest no. plate ever with only a $ sign, which stands foe sultan iskandar if i am not mistaken.
I wonder which vehicle will have WWW 666 plate number.
