Yet another special number plate series is now available for Malaysian vehicles – ‘US’ is the latest to join ‘SMS‘, ‘RIMAU‘, ‘PERFECT’, ‘NAAM’, ‘VIP’ as well as ‘GT’ from 2016 and the ‘PATRIOT’ plate from 2015 on the unique plates list.
The alphabets in the plate series isn’t the shortened form of United States, but Untuk Seniman, and is brought about by the Malaysian Artistes Association (Seniman). Unlike the normal number plate series, which is available from 1 to 9999, the US plate will only run from US 1 to US 1000. As usual, the plates will be issued by the Road Transport Department (JPJ).
Seniman president Zed Zaidi said that the proceeds gained from the project will raise funds to help artists under the association. He added that bidding is open to the public from this coming Saturday, and the tender will close on August 20, with successful bidders being able to register their number as early as October 1, pending approval from JPJ.
Apparently, reserve prices have been listed for the series – US 1 is the priciest, at RM500,000, followed by the other single digits (two to nine) at RM250,000. Double numbers (12 to 98) start from RM25,000, with the exception of US 10, which is priced at RM100,000. Gold double numbers (for example, 22, 55, 77 etc) are priced at RM50,000.
Regular triple numbers to 999 start from RM3,000, except for gold triples (111, 333, 666 etc), which like the double doubles go for RM50,000. Some special triple numbers (101, 515, 767, 808 etc) are priced at RM5,000, and the last number in the series, US 1000 has a reserve price of RM10,000. Reserve prices being a suggestion, one wonders how much the US 4 plate will eventually go for.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Human, please do not trapped in this pointless bidding.
Government has no focus at all. So many plates coming out every few months, there is no more exclusivity at all. Anyway, all money collected going where?
1) does it reduce car prices?
2) does it reduce fuel prices?
3) does it reduce GST?
4) does it reduce food prices?
5) Hospitals and Government Kliniks are still complaining budgets cut heavily, many medications have been cut, even blood test also some cannot do
So, where is all these tender money going to?
Wondering how much will be the US 1. Usd 50k?
US Embassy won’t be happy. Once they complain, JPJ will kowtow.
How do you know if US embassy will be happy or not? Plus, the US embassy personnels have their own diplomatic plate number…
US 1 going for RM500,000
This money is good for gomen. It will help us build more roads and buildings. Also it will reduce car prices. Gomen sure to reduce car prices if they get more money from special numbers

Hi can i do this ah? I mean i would like to engage with jpj to bid the special number. This is to raise fund for poor people, homeless and etc. anyone could advise?
1)Start a NGO.
2)Grow that NGO into something significant that affects many many many lives.
3)Propose to JPJ why u need special plate to raise money instead of plain donation.
4)Wait for proposal to be decided.
5)Burst out the Havanas & Remys when proposal is accepted.
Wow, JPJ is very getting richer day by day!
Wow, new way to milk more money via bidding!! Soon, there will be unlimited things to commemorate. Bravo. Maybe let’s keep the list going:
SEA – commemorate SEA Games
GP – Geely and Proton’s marriage
Please la….Better use the money to help the needy….than spending large amount of money…..for either “uniqueness” sake or inflated ego.
JPJ is really making good business with these plate nos. They know there will always be demand for special numbers, so why not profit from it? bagus JPJ kipidap. i dont care, its not my money and i also dont give a number two with vanity plate numbers which have nil intrinsic value.
USA 1 is better.
What about UK 1 ?
CHINA 1 boleh?
Coming soon to a cinema near you. LOL
UN more nicer ‘utk najib’ lol
They say the monies will go to sickly and poor senimans. Can we really trust that all the proceeds will go to these needy artistes? Perlu pembuktian.
I Know it is an article because it is related to vehicles but it is still insignificant compared to overall improvements in vehicle technology/engines worldwide.
Why do people even bother?
Just don’t buy US 26
Will US4 be reserved for POTUS?
Masuk lagi…
I think selling plate no is the most successful biz model in this world….technically no cost to produce…many buyers somehow. One thing for sure this trend will continue in Boleh land
it is not JPJ who will get the money, at least not all. they money will be channel to the fund itself. that’s how govt wants to help this kind of fund. they won’t simply give the money, they will let them to get their own reg no.
Agreed, in order for them to do this, sure they have to pay the JPJ or the Govern or they allocate few percent from the total sales to pay them. Not all the money goes to govern. Aiyaaaa Malaysian. You think simply go to JPJ said open US letter ah? Talk only, no money, sure no go
after all the money receive from the bidding, can the government use it to subsidize the petrol ar?
