The government may have called time on special number plates being sold by NGOs, but it looks like there’s still a run-out series or two left. One of these that look to have been approved before the new government came into power is YA, which joins the Y and YY plates that are already on the market.
Bidding for the series – numbered from YA 1 to YA 9999 – opened on July 1 and will end on July 13, with successful bids being announced on July 23. Minimum bid pricing for a single digit number is set at RM50,000, while two and three digit numbers start from RM5,000 and RM2,000 respectively. Tender prices for four digit numbers, meanwhile, begin from RM500.
The last special plate introduced via the NGO route was UP, but there have been a host of special plates in recent times. These 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, the last by JPJ itself.
The transport ministry said that existing special series plates that were previously approved will still be able to be sold over the next year. Transport minister Anthony Loke said earlier this month that a one-year grace period is being given to NGOs to sell and register numbers for their approved series. He added that there will be no extension to the time limit given by the government, and that no renewals will be permitted.
That doesn’t mean the end of special plates, of course, but just that it will all come only from one channel, namely the government. The first one, called ‘Malaysia’, will be open for bidding at all state JPJ HQs on August 1.

yamaha bikers shall bid for it
Ever since he took office hes more interested in selling number plates…he looked so jovial when he held the number plates for press pics…is that all hes capable of doing…like a graduate from kindergarten only…what a joke..so pakatoon…anthony anthony…hehehe
Hes been nonstop coming out with get-him-quick-rich schemes. He shud have been made FM instead.
Yeah, he’s certainly much better than the past FM who claims that he don’t know how much his wife’s jewellery has.
Heck, when my waifu buys her stuff including jewelry, I dunno how much it is since she uses her own credit card, but its paid thru our joint acct. So what? The current FM bought his own house himself yet blur about its price.
this YA series was approved by the previous government

Very soon, the next number plate will be PH!
North island alredi triple digits lar. Maybe Loki can ‘requisition’ all the PH plates and then re-bid them out for resell at higher prices. Current PH plate owners must then freely and forcibly donate their PH plates. All for the Bapakland.

I call upon all potential bidders. Please don’t support this political NGOs with your bids. They only buy the whole series for RM1 mil and make instant profits (up to RM20mil) by this process.
Support JPJ only issued numbers where the sale goes back to the government funds to reduce RM1 trillion debt.
Recently, I saw cars with SY number plates…from which NGO does the SY number plates originated from???
