Cars are an obvious display of wealth, but a fancy number plate to go along with it seems necessary too. Now, a new special vehicle registration plate has hit town after G1M (Gagasan 1Malaysia) and 1M4U (1Malaysia For Youth), giving VIPs the opportunity to own something unique, and pay top ringgit for it.
The new number plate series is PATRIOT, and five wealthy parties are vying to lay claim on ‘PATRIOT 1’, which is set to be the most expensive number plate in the country, The Star reports. This is because the auction price starts at RM1 million, and the five have each put down 20% of that as deposit to back their bids. The auction started on June 1 and the result will be known by June 30.
The number plate series is being offered by Yayasan Patriot Negara Malaysia (YPN) as part of its fund-raising drive to promote moderation. Proceeds from the sale of PATRIOT 1 to 9999 will be used to carry out programmes and activities that build patriotism and bring together Malaysians of various race and religion, the KL-based NGO claims on its website. YPN was set up in April 2013.
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has granted the NGO permission to auction the numbers. An authorisation letter would be issued to the PATRIOT plate buyers who must bring it to the JPJ HQ in Wangsa Maju for registration. Those unsuccessful in their bidding will have their deposits refunded.
YPN’s special project director Mass Ayu Mass Akbar said the minimum bidding price for the premier category (PATRIOT 1 to 10) ranged from RM380,000 to RM1 million and the response so far has been overwhelming with a number of eminent persons vying for these single-digit plates.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The stench of money laundering is strong in this one…
Patriot, oh the irony.
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
Why have YPN? Better use our BTN. They are good at spreading hatred amongst the people.
School in Kedah also got number plate, KENCING 1
Songlap is patriotic in Malaysia, just like supporting Proton. Those Proton supporters think they are patriotic but in fact they are BODOH!
These day, it is all about money. You donate RM1mil, they make you Patriot No.1
Later they will have Pahlawan No.1, BN4U no.1, LoveProton No.1, Najib No.1 etc.
Soon you can buy yourself Messi No.10, CRonaldo No.10.
It is all about money!
Ya ya like you badmouth other brands, no RV la, no build quality la, no wrong with sushi la, it’s all about money!
First GST
Then Toll naik
Then Jamban Awam naik
LOng distance tambang akan naik
Taxi sudah naik
Viagra harga naik
Chap fan harga naik
Watch out,Income Tax coming soon naik
Now bladdy JPJ kutip wang for fancy plate…daylight robbery for those who got spare cash and SYIOK SENDIRI.
Maybe,with the money they want to buy more sarong for sexy Suzzanne Tan.
I don’t have to badmouth on others, I am just sharing facts.
1. Proton not reliable – fact
2. Kimchi no RV – fact
3. VW DSG problematic – fact
4. Toyota maintenance cheap – fact
And many more…
My 2014 Jetta so far got no DSG issue used it as daily car almost hit 70k mileage :)
Minister already make clear is joking…
BN always joking about 1MBD and MAA corruption too !!!
BN helps Rakyat richer, we never burden Rakyat.
Let riot 1
What a blittering idiot who thinks he is a patriot for the country. You stupidity astounds me. What a piece of societal garbage
and now tell me how to fit all the letters let say PATRIOT 9999 on a plate number and at the same time have to comply with the JPJ spec and bullshit.
“PUTRAJAYA” is even longer than that. You will see that the word “PUTRAJAYA” is in smaller font than the number. They have different specification for that I guess.
Wahai Orang Orang Kampung, sedarlah!. Sambil anda kerja 2 perkerjaan sehari, ada yang kerja 3 perkerjaan sehari, 24 jam kerja pun ada sampai tak boleh tengok anak dan isteri, ada ramai krooni krooni, teruatamanya krooni UMNO hidup mewah dan goyang kaki dapat kontrak free.
Untuk mereka RM1 million adalah kacang puteh!
Sedarlah Orang Orang Kampung!
Ask anyone rich, if you sweat and work hard for your money, even if you have tens of millions, you will never spend RM1 million on a number plate.
People who spend RM1 million on a numbe rplate are people who get money under the table, easy money, so they don’t mind splashing it out on a mere number plate.
Don’t worry, couple of MARA officers already sent in their bid of RM2 million each
Now bulan puasa, besides this, got competition amongst people to show who can buka puasa in hotels and pay over RM150 per person. The bigger group you pay for, the more happening you are!
So much for moderation
MARA Officers? Prove it!
Wahai Orang Orang Bandar, sedarlah! Sambil anda berhempas pulas nak hantar anak pergi sekolah, trafik jam, keje over time, bos kejam, office mate kaki umpat, sewa mahal, makan mahal. Kami kat kampung sebenarnya OK je, sewa murah, kedai kopi makan murah. Err kami tak kerja 2-3 pekerjaan, itu orang bandar. Abis menoreh atau bertanam atau menternak balik la atau ke kedai kopi
Kalau tukar kerajaan pun belum tentu hidup kami senang. Kami tek perlu pun RM 1 million..
Sedarlah Orang Orang Bandar, kami bukan macam awak..
For those who follow these guys, YPN is an NGO that was made to give support to the men and women in the military and for the people who put their lives to protect the country. They used to be known as “Briged Patriot”, maybe you can google about it. Being a ‘yayasan’, it’s a non profit so money has to be spent the way they have intended – for national activities and for our national heroes. The sale is the choice of people to bid, nothing is forced.
When does 1MDB plate start bidding??
Bidding starts at RM42, RM4200 and RM42,000 and Rm420,000 and RM42 million and RM42 billion.
Country is in shambles. People struggling with GST. Cost of living for even people earning RM10k per month also still so tight and difficult.
Yet, Government got time to do this in Bulan Puasa.
Such a disgrace. To all those voted BN last election, this is what you get. Remember the last bidding? So many Government Servant get free. No need to bid.
That’s not for personal use
they will still have to pay la.. only, its right pocket go to left pocket..
Well voting for pakatan also makes no difference lah, both oso talk kok tak boleh pakai.
RM1m for a plate number, very ‘moderate’, much ‘patriotism’, indeed…
Already Government screwing people with super high car prices. Our car prices are highest in the world if you factor in our low GDP per capita in Malaysia. Our car prices are far far higher than even Singapore car prices.
Petrol also is very high considering every other oil producing country gives extremely cheap oil to their rakyat.
Now, the Government, still want to perah the rakyat even more.
i hope u are fasting
and if u do then please stop these slanderous claims. u are fast making your fasting null and void.
it is an NGO who applied for this, a foundation. and the JPJ decided it was okay.
and ah dont worry. any people buy also wont affect you.
Are you sure car price in Bolehland higher than Sinki? In Sinki, u need to pay 50% of the car price n can only loan for 5 years. Sinki is world no 1 most expensive country to buy car thanks to PAP govt. U cant drive one without coe. Even a Myvi in Sinki costs more than a City or Vios in Bolehland. Not everyone can drive in Sinki. Get the fact rite. Cars in Bolehland is expensive but not so if compare to Sinki.
Did Gov ask you to buy that plate number? No.. What part of NGO u dont understand? So which part gov perah rakyat..
Patriotism to cronism.
During puasa time, better to use your money to help the poor lah. To all those cronies, especially UMNO cronies who get free billion dollar contracts, use your money to help the poor.
It is sinful to pay over RM1 million on a number plate no matter how rich you are. Go and help the many starving children and shelter homes for orphans in Malaysia.
Show your disgust toward such bidding. The Government too is just making money because half the Patriot plates will be given free to Ministers and UMNO members who will eventually resell the plates for a fortune.
So, don’t think the Government here is earning revenue. It is just a ploy to make the UMNO boys richer
Take your RM1 million, buy a few thousand 10kg rice bags and give to each old folks home and orphanage.
Have you gone to the old folks home? You will cry non stop to see our elders in pain and hardly any food.
Go buy milo, rice, nestum for these old folks.
Giving a hot cup of milo to an old man in an old folks home is more valuable than driving your Patriot 1
Well said. But such virtues should be practiced all year round instead.
Anyway this got me thinking, is it me or lately there has been a number of these new fancy plates that seem to do little or no benefit?
I see even bulan puasa, Sports Toto and Magnum4D shops are full of muslims gambling. And now this, Government want us to bid exorbitant prices for a mere number.
Isn’t it better to just give the money straight to some old folks home or rumah anak yatim piatu?
This is rubbish considering the ringgit is dropping like crazy, 1MDB might make Malaysia into another Greece and cost of living in Malaysia is shooting sky high.
OMG your brain cannot think difference between bidding and gambling. Grow up kid.
“…as part of its fund-raising drive to promote moderation.”
The VIPs are definitely showing moderation in the car-plate bids. Even RM 1 million is just chump change for them.
/s
Paying millions for a number plate that promotes moderation? Irony at its finest right there
I quote from above ” as part of its fund-raising drive to promote moderation”…LOL 1 million ringgit for a number plate is moderate ah?
For all we know, this could be a way for certain individuals to launder money or channel funds to other activities
Patriot? 1MDB better. Lol!
Seriously?????
“Proceeds from the sale of PATRIOT 1 to 9999 will be used to carry out programmes and activities that build patriotism and bring together Malaysians of various race and religion, the KL-based NGO claims on its website. YPN was set up in April 2013.”
Musim Hujan and Banjir langgar air jadi RIOT 1. Haha..
PATRIOT 455
fancy car goes with fancy number. only the rich can play this status game
Duit Raya Khas – Using patriot to earn $$. Really good business plan.
this is scam of the highest order .. with blessing from the government
NGO’s or cronies?
Approved by JPJ this are indeed fishy…
I always believed that patroism and unity is the function of the Government and not through fund raising exercises. YTN in this case may lack the appeal to undertake such a noble cause or is it another “white elephant”.
hopefully BERSIH NGO will ask jpj to auction BERSIH plate number as well…
Another way to get additional money from Rakyat to bailout something…
RM 1 mil.. I rather buy a brand new BMW M4 and have +-300K to spare for fuel and other services.
if the guy can afford a 1 mil number plate, a brand new M4 is a peanut loh…
Money is not an issue for him u know..
i’ll bet he can even get “one:1”
Coming next… ‘PATHETIC 1-9999’ plate number for marhaens….
When are they gonna start offering PAULTAN fancy plates for Malaysia’s most happening car posts? Or SAMLOO plates, (will it have good RV)? :)
Yayasan Patriot… raising money to promote moderation while enticing excessive spending n encourage the wealthy to show it off? Really…WTF..?
Its amongst them. They like to show who has the biggest house, biggest cars, curtains from harrods etc.
the irony! promote moderation by promoting extreme vanity in the name of patriotism..no wonder the country is going downhill
Yayasan Patriot? is it under 1MDB. good way to get money to pay the debt. Wondering when will 1MDB plate will be tendered in the future. Starting from RM4.5m la.
a real patriotic car plate should not be priced.
it should be an acknowledgment, given as free to the most patriotic person in Malaysia, who have sacrificed and Made more than 80% Malaysian free proud of him.
Scrolling down these comments. This is most constructive opinion. I second it!
I wonder whats next? Perhaps BRIM 1 to 9999 since Govt need funding to help the Poor & Senior Rakyat.
Any BR1M number? cuz cai love that number.
ini untuk semua org yg berduit. apa la nk dihebohkan. diorg ada duit. org malaysia boleh pakai ferrari, lamborghini, porsche, bugati, so apa la sngt nk bli nombor plat yg mahal utk letak kat kereta mahal diorg. kita yg tak berapa nk berduit ni, duduk je la diam2. minat masing2. biarkan mereka.
Duit dari mana bang? Itu semua duit kita, taxpayer. Mcm mana boleh duduk diam2 dan biarkan mereka???
lazy msian are u? all money belong to rich people claimed people’s money.. get a life la!
segagah abang, takde la gagah sangat nak beli plat number Rm10k, apalagi rm1million.
abg not gagah anymore, rosmah lagi gagah
Nanti ramai la anggota pentadbiran awam dalam list yang menang bidaan ni. Bila minta disclose siapa orang2 tu, jpj tak bagi. Heheh
politicians in malaysia have split the people. There is very little sense of belonging. putting this number plate on your car is just meaningless.
I also want to propose to JPJ la like this..
ILPM 1 – ILPM 9999
ILPM = I Love PM
The next infamous car plate will be out in domestic market called; AJIB1.
I don’t mind getting a Patriots number as I am a New England fan…….
Wait, this got nothing to do with NFL, no? Meh…
hmmm..
Get the cheapest RM30k number plate and if you become exempt from all the traffic fines because of the plate number then it’s worth it.
plat ini bukan dipaksa beli pun. dan plat ni tiada kena mengena langsung dgn government. ini sama seperti plat G1M, BAMBee, Putrajaya Bla bla bla..
Kenapa suka sangat melompat? i ulang… Plat ini bukan bidaan dengan DIPAKSA beli macam plat yang kita bida di JPJ mcm biasa tu.
Trust me. This is most likely an idea from Najib or cronies. The money collected from this plate is used to bailout the financially constrained 1MDB like how he used Tabung Haji to do.
However, the only difference is that this is for the rich or rich-wanna be who are voluntarily want to buy, at the same time, rescuing 1MDB implicitly, lolol.
I suspect the money will be channeled to 1MDB.
I prefer use my 1 mil pay for Datoship
1 mil can get Dato Seri.
Lagi power !!
I want GST 6
Yayasan Patriot Negara Malaysia atau singkatannya “YPNM” adalah sebuah badan bukan kerajaan yang ditubuhkan pada 12 April 2013 dengan matlamat untuk menyemai semangat patriotisme di kalangan rakyat Malaysia.
Patriotisme membawa maksud perasaan cinta yang kuat terhadap tanah air. Setiap Negara memerlukan rakyat yang berjiwa patriotisme bagi memacu kearah sebuah negara Maju.
Tahap patriotisme rakyat Amerika Syarikat, Jepun, Turki & Thailand terhadap negara mereka adalah jelas sangat tinggi berbanding kita di Malaysia. Kajian dan pemerhatian mendapati terdapat sebilangan rakyat Malaysia tidak mempunyai semangat patriotisme terhadap Negara ini kerana perbezaan sudut pandangan dalam aspek politik, ekonomi dan sosial. Atau mungkin juga mereka terlalu leka dengan mainan politik hingga lupa akan tanggungjawab kepada Malaysia tercinta?
YPNM bimbang tanpa semangat patriotisme dan jurang perbezaan yang semakin melebar di kalangan masyarakat akan memudaratkan kesejahteraan rakyat serta keselamatan Malaysia seluruhnya.
Atas kebimbangan tersebut, pelbagai kempen dan aktiviti telah dilaksanakan untuk menyemai dan mempromosi semangat patriotisme di kalangan rakyat Malaysia berbilang bangsa dan usia. (Untuk aktiviti yang telah dilaksanakan serta profil lengkap YPNM, sila layari www.patriot.org.my)
Terbaharu, Yayasan Patriot Negara telah melancarkan plat kenderaan khas PATRIOT 1 hingga PATRIOT 9999 untuk ditawarkan kepada mereka yang ingin bersama-sama menyokong matlamat dan aktiviti YPNM.
Dana yang terkumpul dari hasil penjualan plat PATRIOT akan dimanfaat untuk melaksanakan kempen dan aktiviti patriotisme secara berterusan dengan skala yang lebih besar. Kami yakin usaha ini akan mendapat sokongan seluruh rakyat Malaysia yang melihat kepentingan memelihara kesejahteraan dan perpaduan Malaysia sebagai satu agenda patriotik yang perlu dipupuk dalam jiwa setiap rakyat Malaysia.
Kepada individu atau organisasi yang ingin mendapatkan plat kenderaan khas siri PATRIOT, sila layari laman web rasmi Yayasan Patriot Negara di “www.patriot.org.my ” atau hubungi 019-447 5555 untuk keterangan lanjut.
Jangan lepaskan peluang keemasan ini. Dapatkan segera plat PATRIOT dan sertai Yayasan Patriot Negara.

Real patriots will remove these idiots in power. Remember George Washington and Jefferson were once branded traitors, but are now known as patriots in their country.
Kepada sesiapa yang ada duit banyak dan mahu menyumbangkan wang mereka kepada rakyat Malaysia boleh melakukannya melalui pebagai cara. Ada yang seikhlas hati tak nak sebarang imbuhan langsung dan kekalkan low profile. Ada yang nak sumbangan mereka diwar-warkan seadanya. Ada yang dapat imbuhan ‘collateral’ contohnya bagi pembida nombor plat kenderaan. Pahala dan dosa biarlah Tuhan yang tentukan. Yang tak elok adalah orang yang sibuk mengata orang lain.
For those who follow YPN, it’s an NGO that is known to help the men and women in the military. You might have heard of “Briged Patriot”. The logic behind this is that they are a ‘yayasan’ so they are non-profit, but for them to conduct their activities, they will need funds and they have used this method in doing so. The bidding may seem to be overpriced to some but it is not forced. It is a choice, you can see it as a way to give charity. You have the choice to bid for the plates or ignore them totally. Unless someone that is related to the person responsible for the RM42billion bids for one of the plates, then it should be an issue.
