‘NBOS’ number plate series open for bidding today

‘NBOS’ number plate series open for bidding today

Yet another new number plate series is on the cards, if posts on Facebook are to be believed. Reader Kent Lim has pointed us towards photos circulating on the social media platform that reveal the announcement of a new ‘NBOS’ series plate, with tenders slated to begin from today, October 10.

No details in the announcement beyond the opening date and the mention that the process will follow general tender requirements, so it remains to be seen when the series will be introduced, and whether it will follow a traditional NBOS 1 to NBOS 9999 sequence or a shorter NBOS 1 to NBOS 1000 set as seen with the A1M series launched last month.

There’s also no word on what minimum bidding prices will be, so everything remains conjecture for now. Presumably, the plate series is being introduced under the ambit of the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) programme, a government-based multi-agency collaboration between various government agencies. One of the programme’s initiatives has been the implementation of Urban Transformation Centres (UTC) in the country.

The past couple of months have seen a number of new plate series being introduced, with ‘Y‘ being the latest, last week. This joins ‘G‘ and ‘A1M‘ as the most recent additions to the special plate list, which also includes the likes of ‘U‘, ‘US‘, ‘SMS‘, ‘RIMAU‘, ‘PERFECT’, ‘NAAM’, ‘VIP’, ‘GT’, ‘PATRIOT’, as well as ‘AKU‘, ‘RR‘ and ‘DDD‘.

      This has become the joke of the century. Every week got number tender. No more exclusivity anymore.

      The best part is, JPJ collects hundreds of millions but yet, our hospitals have run out of funding and some don’t even have money to do simple blood test.

      Some schools, in 2017, don’t even have proper tables and chairs. Some, don’t even have kipas.

      Don’t know where all the money JPJ is collecting is going

    The more “special” number plate open for tender, the less Special it will become bcos there will be TOO many special numbers.

    Another plate number, they are already doing this like changing underwear . At this rate and posibility, next time they might put up “TAUKEH” for sale. “Malaysia Boleh” is NO JOKE.

      They are on to a good thing. So milk it to the maximum.

      As long as there are willing buyers they will create more of such series to continue milking.

    Rationally speaking, every series of alphabetical car plates (may it be WFK or VIP) are limited releases with 9999 variants up for grabs. *A1M is omitted for discussion*
    Just get a normal car plate – VA 1234 and walla u get the one and only VA 1234 in Malaysia.

    Be rational, people.
    Ps key words being RATIONALLY SPEAKING.
