The VIP number plate series to commemorate Visit Pahang Year 2017 has earned the state’s tourism board RM10.3 million. The total sum is from 1,903 numbers sold in a year, according to Bernama.
The state’s tourism and culture board chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin said that RM10.3 million is a rough figure before factoring in administration costs and GST.
“The project is a joint initiative with the private sector (Digital Tourism Sdn Bhd) to help the state government roll out Visit Pahang Year 2017. A big part of the overseas promotions and publicity programmes was funded by this project,” he said during the winding-up session of the state assembly in Kuantan yesterday.
Mohd Sharkar said that organising a Visit Pahang Year normally costs the state government RM20 million to RM40 million, but with smart partnerships, the tourism board managed to obtain sponsorships and donations totalling RM31.2 million. The state government views Visit Pahang Year 2017 as a success and plans to extend the campaign to 2018, with a launch scheduled for the end of the year.
There have been no shortage of fancy number plates for tender lately. We’ve seen the Y series, G series, ‘T1M‘, ‘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‘, among others.
Wow 1 VIP number plate series earned RM10.3 million. Imagine 10 number plate series or 100 number plate series…. MY all rich pipu!!

memang ramai jenis macam ni..main komen. buat malu je, budak 12 tahun pun tahu baca.
At least now we know how much money and what are they going to do with that money. What about all the other NGO selling fancy plates? Get rich schemes ah?
Supply and demand, its looks like this trend is not going to fade. Malaysia has so much rich guys that willing spend alot of money on their vehicle’s IC. Running number for me..
I can also start my own plate and people can bid for “BYAP” 1 to 9999.
I will be rich!
Fancy number plates for our nation, social & youth developments.
Not to make you rich.
lol state tourism…sure….
u sceptical?
That VIP 1 plate fits the RR to the T.
TQ
Charge the rich, no problemo
Time to roll out VVIP series
Can Penang or Selangor tourism issue their own special plate numbers too? I know Sabah and Sarawak definitely need one because look at how underdeveloped they are.
