Another week, another special number plate series. This time it’s the G series, of which you have until September 29 to submit your bids for, with results set to be published on October 9.
The G 1 to G 9999 number plate series is one approved by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) for the Lee Chong Wei Foundation, set up by national badminton player Datuk Lee Chong Wei.
Funds raised from the sale of the plates will be for the benefit of “amongst others, sports associations and programmes which are designed to support potential and promising athletes in their endeavour to help Malaysia in its quest for the first gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics 2020,” according to Yakin Emas Sdn Bhd, the exclusive agent.
The vendor has set minimum bidding prices for various categories, depending on how “special” the number is. Minimum bids range from RM2,500 for regular numbers to RM250,000 for ‘G 2’ to ‘G 10’. The top ‘G 1’ plate will sell for a minimum of RM500,000 or whatever figure reached by a bidding war.
There has been a raft of fancy plate offerings lately. We’ve seen ‘A1M‘, ‘U’, ‘US’, ‘SMS‘, ‘RIMAU‘, ‘PERFECT’, ‘NAAM’, ‘VIP’, ‘GT’ and ‘PATRIOT’, on top of unique regular series plates such as ‘AKU‘ and ‘RR‘ and ‘DDD‘.
