The new Wilayah Persekutuan vehicle number plate series beginning ‘W1A’ is expected to be introduced in the third week of next month, according to a report by The Malay Mail.
KL Road Transport Department (JPJ) director Mohd Nadzri Osman told the daily that the current series is ‘WYU’. The final series beginning ‘WYY’ is set to be issued in the first week of September.
The new number sequence is as follows – after the ‘WYY’ series ends, the ‘W1A’ to ‘W9999A’ series begins (then ‘W1B’ to ‘W9999B’, ‘W1C’ to ‘W9999C’ and so on until W9999Y). Then the ‘WA1A’ to ‘WA9999A’ series begins, ending at ‘WY9999Y’. Then the ‘WAA1A’ to ‘WAA9999A’ series begins.
So far, there have been 1,400 ‘WYY’ applicants and more than 5,000 ‘W1A’ applicants, Nadzri said. ‘WYY’ bidding ended last Wednesday; ‘W1A’ bidding is set to end this Monday.
The KL JPJ director added that three types of numbers were up for bidding – popular numbers (four digits), fancy numbers (two digits) and golden numbers (one digit).
“The bidding price for the popular numbers starts from RM300, fancy numbers from RM2,000 and golden numbers from RM10,000,” The Malay Mail quoted Nadzri as saying.

What happened to customisable plate after jpjupgraded their system?
all the millions RM kept in the pocket, for RAYA.
U have proof for that? Jgn main ckp ker…igt org lain sume corrupt n xde agame mcm u ker?
Kzm, balik kampung lah. Come to bandar, don’t know anything. You think everything like kampung ah? Pluck rambutan, eat durian, pancing ikan kat sungai
Kampung Brain, think u r so educated from the city? Then show your proof la sir, don’t just talk rubbish.
Dik, ko ingat sokmo oghe duk kapong mace kat bando? kat bando sokmo pegawai negeri make suap rasuah banyok.
It has been done in Sabah and Sarawak.
Same goes to Singapore.
Kalun,
For SG, theirs are completely different! For instance, SJJ1234A, next will be SJJ1235B. At least, their alphabet moves accordingly, ours don’t!
W1A followed W2A… …
SG format is still the best!
Why is the SG format better in any way? Why should the alphabets move accordingly?
obviously u didnt do ur homework…
I want knew from Singapore plate is there are using calculate the three alphabet and 4 number to get the suffix on the back..
what u talking about?
Obviously u have nvr done research on SG plates. In Singapore, their num plates are goin according to system. It means that they are using formulation on the front prefix and alphabet adding up together. Then comp will automatically generate the last suffix at the end of the number sequence.
So why is it superior? Yes, obviously I have never done research on SG plates as I really couldn’t care less about SG cars. I’m from JB and I hate it when I see SG drivers in JB buying ron 95 fuel, diesel, and cooking oil, veges, whatever else from our shores.
Dude, i diao u due to ur knowlegde based on Sg plate. I didnt say anything superior about their plates and certainly i dont admire them. They should admire ppl from KL. as we have better lifestyle and have more richer ppl then them. Are u daft?
Do you hate Bolehans buying fuel in Brunei as well?
bolehans can only buy crappy fuel in brunei. they do restrict the sale of fuel to malaysians. do your research please.
I hope I am one of the owner of W****A and can register by end of September…
Kinda sad to see the WY* series to end, marking the end of the old format. I think so far, the most sought after plate in Malaysian history has to be the WW* and the WY*. Probably beat JJJ which was some time back.
JPJ should start with WA1A to avoid confusion with trade plate which resembled W1234A for instance.
I’ve seen a chrome wrapped r35 gtr running around with WxxxA since few months back. Didnt know those were trade plates
Those tade plate cars are owned by owners who dunnit to pay roadtax. those who have connection..
WWW 1 bid for 500k ,W1A GUARANTEE 800k- 1 Million
if not i CUT !
Cut what?
if I am correct, when there’s WxxxxA xxxx, 10 digits on ur no plate. how to fit and how ugly is ur plate no?
A ha… I m wrong.
no you are wrong
Use barcode or QR code :)
Why can’t they just go for WAAA
WYY 9999
WAAA 1111
I guess someone wants to make money out of
W 1 A
W 1 B
etc
so after 10 years
WAAAAA 1234?
gila betul Mesia ni…so many vehicles registered each month in KL. Traffic jam, noise/air pollution, parking problem mcm2. Kesian btul owg2 KL…
All want to show how kaya they are…other reason no public transport…if have public trans do wan to be sardin (especially not enough cloth girl n yellowman) n oso bus don stop in front of house n do not stop in front of workplace main door.
eh, u dari bandar atau kampung? if u life thru everyday with our worsen condition of public transport. u will noe why KLITES dont wanna take public transport. besides, its dangerous nowadays with alots of crime. When u see a bunch of youngster gathering arounf the station parameter. instantly u will noe its not a right thing to walk-pass them. i think u stil carry on with ur kampung thinking. No wonder Malaysia will not go forward.
Especially brown kids gathering around the station.
Hahaha.. Brown, yellow or black.. there are bad hats everywhere.. Gov needs to tackle crime immaterial of colour..
The ”W1N” will certainly be the sought after ones by those richy rich people, I wouldn’t be surprise if the bid easily reaches more than 1mil. If I was one of em, I would definately bid for it. In case I won, instead of using it on a fancy ride, I’ll use it for an EX5 or a Kancil for some ”IN YOUR FACE PEOPLE, I JUST BROKE THE NORM” effect.
if JPJ is smart enough, they should use the chance to standardise number plate nationwide.
in those days when there was no computer whatsoever and neither internet connection, the easy way to vehicle registrations were by each states respectively.
UK system of vehicle registration is actually pretty interesting in that ppl can immediately recognise a car registration date.
it is never important that a car was registered in England, Scotland or Wales. same goes to us – does it really matter where the car comes from? i mean we have ppl coming from every places to work in KL. or penang.
govt should also use this opportunity to introduce a change in material, example is Taiwan (if not mistaken) where only govt supplies the plate number instead of accesories shop. this step is useful in curbing crime (theft, robbery, kidnapping) which many will agree with me is increasingly on the worrying side lately.
Government-issued license plates are used in the majority of countries in the world. Accessory-shop-made plates like we use in Malaysia is a small minority, with all the disadvantages that comes with it.
but then they say, gov mahu untung pulak
Follow example used in Oz where only Road Transport Authority approved contractor supplies the plate thus drivers have the option to buy novelties plates white various colour schemes but camera readable.
