‘RR’ plate series earns JPJ RM7.2 mil, more than ‘RM’

The recent ‘RR’ number plate series has unseated ‘RM’ as the most lucrative for JPJ Perlis. ‘RR’ – which is overflowing with sporty connotations and will look good on superbikes and luxury cars – netted the state’s Road Transport Department RM7.2 million, RM100k more than the RM7.1 million collected by the ‘RM’ money plate.

This was revealed by JPJ Perlis spokesman Mohd Tarmizi Ghazali to various media outlets, which reported that the department received 7,960 bids for registration numbers. The bids for top ‘RR’ numbers comfortably topped the previous Perlis record bid for a number plate – RM297,000 for ‘RM8’ in 2015.

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V is the successful bidder for ‘RR6’ and ‘RR9’, which cost the monarch RM459,000 dan RM396,800 respectively. Selangor’s Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah bagged ‘RR11’ for RM268,400. Check out the eye-watering sums coughed up for the top ‘RR’ plates below. But where’s ‘RR1’?

      Government makes so much of money from all these auctions. But yet, our hospitals are complaining that they have had funding cut so badly, they cannot even supply medicines etc.

      Universities and schools are having the same problem. No money to do research and no money to buy books even.

      So where is all this money going to?

        Make a few million from number plates but hundreds of cars sold in Malaysia no need to pay tax.

        It is big money cause these cars, each of them give LHDN millions. One Rolls Royce alone tax on it is about RM3 million.

    • Well, thats because during the meeting of Merdeka. The negeri2 Melayu only agreed to join as Malaysia with each retain their own ruler. Unless Malays can wake up from the fuedal mindset, you ppl will be ruled by many more kings and queens. Thus, there wont be any democracy or fairness in living your own lives.

      Those buying RR plate earn JPJ and gomen RM7.2 million but still gomen loses billions as the Rolls Royce or the Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, Pagani and McLaren is sold for tax free.

      RM7.2 mil vs RM BILLIONS

        The fool is you. RR, perlis plate where can register in langkawi or labuan, how to avoid tax? The sultans only have limit of 10 tax free cars, and that one don’t use plate no., either wearing crown emblem or their title, maybe only one state that not follow quota and rules, and everyone know which state it is. But if they put plate no to their car for sure need to pay taxes.

    At least it is a Legit way of earning $$$ from people who is “willing” to part with their Cash.

    Regarding the number RR1, I believe its reserved for a new buyer of a Rolls Royce that befit the number plate.

      Not, its Sultan of Perlis. Sultan from different state cannot request allocation for other states no. If want need to open tender like everyone else. They can reserve their state no but got quota once in few years or series.
