If you enjoy using the phrase “like a boss” often, good news! The Perak Road Transport Department (JPJ) has started accepting bids for the ‘AKU’ number plate series, and among the most coveted vehicle registration numbers are ‘AKU 805’, ‘AKU 8055’ and ‘AKU 1305’.
While most single-digit number plates are popular among buyers, these ones are special as they resemble the Malay phrase, “Aku Boss.” In the report by The Star, state JPJ director-general Mohd Zawawi Zakaria said they were expecting many bids for these plates. “The bidding starts today and ends on July 18,” he noted.
Aside from the “boss” registration numbers, three categories of numbers will still be offered, namely golden numbers, attractive or repetitive numbers and popular numbers. According to Mohd Zawawi, golden numbers (1 to 10) have a minimum bid of RM10,000, attractive (11 to 19) or repetitive (like 22, 777, 8888, etc.) numbers start at RM2,000, and popular numbers start from RM300.
“Even though 805, 8055 and 1305 are normal running numbers, these numbers will be listed under the popular numbers category due to expected demand,” he said. Mohd Zawawi did issue a word of caution to the potential winning bidder for ‘AKU 1305’ so as not to place the ‘1’ and ‘3’ to closely so that it reads like a ‘B’.
So, how much do you think the winning bid for the ‘AKU 8055’ plate will be?
Dont know why the Government is encouraging people to bid for stupid things. Whilst other countries are busy doing research and development as well as inventing things, in Malaysia, we are busy with petty things.
Also, JPJ is encouraging the buyer to commit and offence. The buyer will purposely make the plate in such a way that reads “Aku BOSS”. This is a clear offence.
This is as bad as selling guns to people and saying, if the buyer uses the gun, then it is an offence. If not then it is ok.
Bodoh gomen
Bodo gov for encouraging pipu to gip money to gov or,
bodo pipu for actually spending that money?
Or just bodo basher for being poorfag with no money to throw but just complains?
Dgn nombor 967 syiok la
Same comment again and again. Mr YB, find a life.
Mr John aka Nancy, why so many dupes?
B4 u accuse other pipu: face→mirror
You might forgotten that the Government has start to build rubberised roads which was featured in PaulTan early this year. Only know to bash stupid thing. Once Kurap will always be a Kurap. Haih. Pity Malaysia to have this kind of people in our country.
low IQ JPJ tickling themselves & laffing. Duh #No1GivesACrap
Yes. Am ashamed to have this miscreant called as Msian. But then with that name, how sure r we that he is Msian?
Ok let me rephrase then. Pity to our Earth to have this kind of guy. Haih
what does rubber roads have to do with number plates? Tak makan ubat ke?
U should first go and ask the Kurap above what the hell is related with Govt and number plates. I am just replying his comment when he said others Govt did research blablabla while Malaysia Govt is busy with petty things. Pls, read before throw ur brainless comment.
Yes, we Malaysian are so occupied with petty things. i can never understand why people would pay close to RM 1 million to be able to add a ‘Datuk’ in front of their name. That amount of money can be used for better things
Exactly, encouraging illegal behaviour. Buyer pay high price for sure will put BOSS instead of 8055. There was a blue Subaru in Glenmarie running around with WATER number plate not that long ago.
Well if people buy it, does that mean they are also stupid?
I dont know how is this connected to the government ?
This is not government implied GST on all the things that we required and we are ‘forced’ to comply.
But in this case, JPJ put out the sales and if you want then you buy based on what you can afford. Did JPJ put a gun on your head to force you to buy ?
What you should blame and criticize is those people who willing to fork out a ridiculous amount of money to buy something they dont need. But hey, it aint my money, who am i judge?
You sound like the Minister who said, if sayur and susu got GST, jangan beli.
Bagi bayi air sudah cukup. Nobody is putting a gun on your head to buy susu for your baby
If ancestor bayi needed baby formula to survive but wasnt invented at that time, then how did we get born?
Theres alwiz options, and the option dun put a gun to ur head. U just have to look away from the barrel to find it.
I can’t see you showing good example by using working hours giving false comments here
Personally I see no wrong in this. There’s the buyer and seller. This is not by force by the govt, but simply a ‘brilliant’ idea to cash in on the demand. While there’s a lot that we can screw the govt, in this instance however, it is pretty smart of JPJ rather than calling them ‘bodoh’, which is quite disrespectful in the 1st place.
Dei, the gomen smart lah. Can easily raise funds by tendering out silly numbers. If your ego needs to be stroked by certain numbers, then go buy loh. Gomen happily let you pay to satisfy your ego.
It’s the Cina who started this number craze & still the one crazy about numbers. See how much 8888 is tendered for? See who is the winner? Sure some Cina tycoon one. Ego become bigger with 8888 number plate.
gomen never issues a statement as claimed (at least by u). it is only a writer suggestion. who’s bodo here? U – for failing to understand what u read!.
Your Highness Kunta
I m sure there will be a dude who will bid for ‘AKU 4444″…SOUNDS COOL BUT THEY R ASKING curses upon themselves.
Only Cina thinks 4 is bad news…
Only for people with low self esteem
Should bid for AKU 8020 instead. Wonder how much it would cost.
AKU 8055? i pay $0.50 for this.
AKU 8080.
When comes time for AKU 8080I then I knows who will be getting it. Gov will even gip him free :)
No problem. Pls throw money unnecessarily at gov.
AKU 8055(BOSS) is worth billions but I like your Sarcasm.
When will the new series OKU 1 – 9999 start?
Sound so stupid. Like AKU = Aku Kurang Upaya wander who will bid for this.
Maybe the next round should be “OKU”… Otak Kurang Upaya
I ter-read it as “OKU…”
No offense….
the AKU reminds me more of OKU
so enjoy ur OKU BOSS thingy
AKU 8481 how much aah
AKU 8357
This is boring. No meaning at all.
While i disagree with many govt decisions but this is one good and legal way for Govt to earn money with no harm done AS LONG AS IT IS DONE TRANSPARENTLY. Let the highest bidder win fair and square. Don’t let the “ulat” manipulate the bidding.
Bodoh.. kata jgn guna fancy plate itu ini, lepas itu sendiri kasi promote number plate mcm ni. Beli kena duit lepas tu saman pun nak duit. mcm sial aje
Better use the money to give to charity….than to buy a a plastic plate with numbers.
Karma will be waiting…..
AKU 967
I guess “SEX” will be out for bid very soon. And plate number 69 will be perfect match for that.
Our government so poor until they have to use this stupid way to earn money. Pity pity….
Den? U rather prefer they raise assessment and tax rates to fund ur demands? Then everybody will pay for it instead of the rich.
Boss is a perfume
If no demand, these things don’t sell, but seems like we have lots of pipu here that is willing to pay high price for these numbers. Good for them, we cannot stop them from spending their money and oiling the gears of economy.
pathetic move by the govt. if need money send the squad out patrol and give saman la. so many running red light, road rage etc
Desperate government way of raising funds
When money is easily obtained, people will pay for these bull without blinking an eye.

AKU 67
AKU 967
AKU 4967
