Malaysians now have yet another vanity number plate to choose from – a new series with the prefix “GT”, offered by Kelab Eksplorasi 7 Benua Malaysia (KE7B), which happens to be the same organisation that sold the G1M (Gagasan 1 Malaysia) series of vanity number plates.
The special series will have the usual run of 9,999 numbers, with the minimum reserved price for a normal number starting from RM1,000 going up to RM200,000 for “GT1”.
If you’re successful in your tender, you have to register the plate onto a car before the end of 2017 at JPJ’s Wangsa Maju branch. KE7B says proceeds will go towards funding its activities. GT 86, anyone?
