As there are still unassigned letters, the sale goes on. Hot on the heels of the G series is this, the Y series number plate, now available for tender. You have until October 20 to submit your bids, with results set to be published on November 1.
The Y 1 to Y 9999 number plate series is one approved by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) for the Yayasan Nur Jauhar founded by Tun Jauhar and Toh Puan Hajah Norlidah.
