Been wondering what the next set of alphabets will be on a licence plate once the current three alphabet sequence runs out, like in the case of Federal Territory plates, which is already running well into WVA at the moment?
Well, seems that the next sequence isn’t likely to have the new letter tagged at the front (as in WAAA) when WYY finishes its run. In all probability, the letter will be strapped on after the number, like how Sabah and Langkawi does it.
According to a report, Transport Minister Datuk Kong Cho Ha said that the ministry is in the midst of choosing the next step from a number of proposals, but isn’t in a rush to implement the new system since it’ll be another few years before the current sequencing runs out. He added that the current proposal is looking to put the additional letter after the numbers, though no final decision had been made.
With the WV sequence followed by WW, WX and WY, which makes four more series to go. Each series has 9,999 numbers; with 23 letters used for licence plates – the letters I and O are not, and Z has been designated for military use only – this adds up to just under 230,000 vehicles covered per series, or close to 920,000 vehicles in all, before it runs out.
Wonder how it’ll shape up – will it be WA xxxx A, then WA xxxx B, and when the suffix eventually reaches Y, the next sequence rolls on to WB xxxx A?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express interest and suggestions for the new license plate prefix likely to be "FT." Many propose adding alphabet suffixes after the existing series, like WYY9999, to extend the system, with some suggesting formats such as W1A or WAAA for longer permutations. There is discussion about reserving certain sequences for specific regions or vehicle types, and some favor a numbering system that incorporates years or unique identifiers. Several commenters draw parallels to existing systems in Sabah, Sarawak, and the UK, while others suggest standardizing fonts, adding regional codes, or creating custom personalized plates. Overall, sentiments are positive toward implementing an extended, more organized, and possibly more patriotic license plate system for Malaysia.
