Another week, another fancy number plate series. This time, it’s UP, which officially stands for Unique Plates, although there are many other possibilities. “Up your health, wealth and luck with UP carplates,” the sales pitch goes.
Open to all Malaysians and organisations, the UP plate series goes from 1 to 999. It is registered with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) as a fundraiser for the Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA). Funds raised from the sales of the number plates will go to MABA to support the players and future basketball programmes, it is claimed.
The minimum bid for UP 1 is RM200,000 and most of the other single digit plates have minimum bids of RM100,000, except for UP 4, which starts from RM50,000. A few numbers are listed as sold – UP 13 for RM15,000, UP 18 for RM30,000 and UP 23 for RM28,000 are among those that are taken. Bids for normal numbers start from RM500.
Recent special plates introduced include G1G-G999G, X, XX, YY, UU, GTR, GG, SAM, K1M, T1M, A1M, US, SMS, NBOS, NAAM, VIP, G, GT, U, Y, PERFECT, PATRIOT and FB by JPJ itself.
Untuk Pakatan
Don’t worry. We have a clean Government now. All the money will be collected to reduce our fantastic 1 TRILLION debt left to us by the previous highly corrupted regime.
So don’t worry. Now JPJ also being monitored. They have to remit every single sen to MOF which will use all funds for good purposes.
Gone are the Birkin days.
Why still have these bad practices ???
More ferocious than President Xi’s anti-corruption Crackdown. Purge them humanwaste
Sorry. I think money with MABA and not MOF
Sapot Basketball. Majulah sukan untuk Negara!

Min of Transport should call for accounts for past cases.
whenever you post articles like this, please include details of the issuer and where we could obtain more information.
an article without credible information is as good as tabloid or as good as an investment firm with a CEO who has not financial knowledge
Most of them the money went NGOs and all one needs to do is just browse internet under
JPJ Vehicle Registration Numbers for sale.
wah! the money making JPJ is ready to bail out our national debt by just selling number plates.

Anthony Loke, please look into this. Is this practice legitimate? With Harapan governing now, I rather the tender proceed go directly to the Government’s coffers.
l am disappointed a basketball association like MABA chose UP instead of DUNK. What a missed opportunity.
I want 1MDB plate series please…
Another case of public revenue for use of nonGovt purpose?
Revenue should be Govt and then GRANT GIVEN TO MABA who would be required to comply with prescribed conditions and subject to TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY on how funds are nanaged.
Little is known how earlier recepients managed or how much was collected and who were the beneficiaries.
With pakatan, basketball will be number 1 sport in malaysia. Good bye football. R.i.p FAM…
