The transport ministry has announced that the ‘Malaysia’ special number plate series will be open for bidding at all state JPJ HQs on August 1. Bidding was originally set to run from July 2-16, but the dates have now been changed to August 1-16. It was however not mentioned if the reveal date for tender results will be moved from the original August 23 date.
Additionally, the plate series – which is being introduced in conjunction with Merdeka Day celebrations – will also launch a pilot e-bidding system, the New Straits Times reports. According to transport minister Anthony Loke, a local company has offered to set up the e-bidding system for the ministry without cost.
“We have agreed (to the system) in principle, but it is still pending approval from the ministry,” he said, adding that if the launch is successful, the ministry will look into utilising the e-bidding system for normal vehicle registration number plates. Loke had earlier said that the government is targeting to roll out an e-bidding system by January next year.
Loke said that the e-bidding system will make the process simpler for bidders. “Under the (existing) conventional system (for bidding vehicle plate numbers), applicants need to pay 50% via bank draft. If the person does not win the bid, the process to return the deposit can take between two to three months,” he said.
The new system will involve zero outlay until a bid is successful. “With this system, it is done online via credit card. Even if the bidder does not succeed, he does not have to pay anything,” he explained.
The Malaysia number plate series, which runs from 1-9999, is expected to net the government over RM22 million. There will be no numbers reserved for VIPs and all numbers will go to the highest bidder, except for Malaysia 2020, which will be offered to prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Hello bos…2020 sudah tada la…sekarang 2025 le…u tada dengar tun cakap meh…aiyoo..
People are happy to bid now cause now got Clean Government, so whatever money collected by JPJ goes to the Government 100%
Not like before, even rakyat also not sure where the money collected by JPJ goes.
Not only the JPJ money, but rakyat’s medicine as well. Previously, minister officials and their relatives are involved in controlling billions of ringgit worth of medical supply to the Gov by being agents or middlemen for pharmaceutical companies. Its the companies which monopolised the supply of medicine to the Gov, which makes Malaysia medicine 148% more expensive. Why poor people hard to cure their sickness?
Thanks to BN

Malaysia 2020 for Tun, Malaysia 1 for Najib
“set up the e-bidding system for the ministry without cost” Righhttt. Just like fesbuk got no payment but the cost was astronomically high much later. The adage theres no such thing as free lunch rings true.
Every time I see Loke’s face, I think of this emoji – o.O
One eye big, one eye small.
Like someone thrusted into the spotlight and realised too late that it was headlights coming fast towards him, eh LatukBandar?

Reminds me of Big Small Eye, Mercedes W210
New e-bidding system by harapan cronies now. lulz
Theres the official bidding at RTD, and then theres the unofficial bidding at that local company. Makan sini makan sana. Lolz!
U got proof of the unofficial bidding? Pls report
U got proof of ur accusations above? Then why u no repot?
I got but do u?
Proof is, what’s the local company name? Where’s the transparency they were shouting about?
pls open tender for malaysia 2020. while Tun Dr M don’t care about nobel prize, why he should care about a car plate number.
Yeah, I might be fetch few millions to GOV. Sultan Johor willing to pay for it. If the reason is to add money to GOV coffers, than should stop give it for free even for Tun Dr M.
It’s like how they reserved the car number 11 to Najib, to show gratitude to the leader.
this better be the last
well… better than that “Patriot” or “G1M”.. only idiot will get
Ah G1M.
Buy tax free car from Langkawi and slap on a G1M plate. Go incognito.
