Following today’s announcement of the ‘Malaysia’ special number plate series, which will be open for tender next month, and the upcoming individual state plate series (Selangor, Kedah, Penang), transport minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said that his ministry is looking at introducing personalised plates in Malaysia.
Elsewhere, personalised plates can be anything, but Loke gave examples of actual names such as “Anthony or John or Ali or Mahathir or Najib.” Whoever has the money, he can do a personalised number, Loke said, explaining that this could be another way of generating revenue for the government, as per the “once in a lifetime” Malaysia plates and its state equivalents.
“Personalised numbers exist in other countries. We are studying the possibilities of introducing personalised plates, and if possible, we will introduce them in the near future,” he told the media at the transport ministry headquarters in Putrajaya today.
Rumours of JPJ introducing personalised plates have been there for sometime now, and we first heard about it in 2012. What do you think of introduction of personalised plates in Malaysia? Looking forward to get one?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments reflect mixed reactions to personalized number plates, with some applauding the potential revenue for the government and others criticizing it as promoting vanity, class division, or inequality. Several comments highlight concerns that spending on personalized plates distracts from core issues like road quality, traffic management, and corruption. There is also skepticism about affordability for the average citizen, viewing personalized plates as a symbol of wealth and status only accessible to the rich, further deepening social divides. Some commenters suggest that funds from personalized plates could be better channeled into welfare, infrastructure, or eradicating corruption, while others see it as an unnecessary way for the wealthy to show off. Overall, the sentiment is skeptical, with a focus on prioritizing fundamental issues over vanity projects.
