Looking for a way to express your love for Malaysia? Well, bidding for the ‘Malaysia’ special number plate series is now open and will remain that way until August 15. The unique plate series is being introduced in conjunction with the upcoming Merdeka Day celebrations, and was first announced back in June this year.
The plate series will be from ‘Malaysia 1’ to ‘Malaysia 9999’ but it’s obvious that certain numbers will cost a prettier penny. According to The Star, those looking to secure ‘Malaysia 1’ to ‘Malaysia 10’ will need to make a minimum bid of RM10,000.
Special numbers like ‘Malaysia 11’ to ‘Malaysia 19’ as well as those with double, triple and quadruple digits command a starting bid of RM2,000. Meanwhile, popular and running numbers start at the RM300 mark. Interested parties will need to register themselves with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to place their bids.
Loke noted that the e-bidding system for number plates is not yet available due to technical issues that require rectification. He added that numbers that aren’t taken after the end of bidding will still be available to the public.
“We will announce the names of the successful bidders on Aug 29, and they can register their vehicles before Merdeka Day if they wish to,” transport minister Anthony Loke said at the official launch of the ‘Malaysia’ plate series.
However, there is one plate that is off limits to everyone and that is ‘Malaysia 2020’. “As Transport minister, I will use my power to reserve the ‘Malaysia 2020’ number for our prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. All other numbers are open for bidding, as the ultimate aim is to get revenue for the government,” Loke said.

Malaysia01 reserved.
No such thing as “0”. In our number plate system number will never start from “0”. 0 only can be use on 2nd digit or so, eg. 10, 110, 1110, 1000. Letter “O” also not in use. Keep that in mind.
How are the number plates going to benefit the poor? I prefer Khazanah spending RM80 million in a ‘lucrative’ business.
Hear hear!
deswaii pipu prefers old Govt plates G1M, GTR, GG, SAM, K1M, T1M, A1M, US, SMS, NBOS, NAAM, VIP, G, GT, U, Y, PERFECT, XX, PATRIOT
We need the money collected. Now only 4 military jets can fly. We need the money to repair our planes
Huh? The money has been allocated. The planes are only down for maintenance, that’s all.
This is a automobile blogsite, not military jet blogsite. U came to the wrong place.
This is good. It gives our Government revenue
At least now we know, all money collected by JPJ will go 100% to the Government for the rebuilding of the country. Unlike before, where songlapping was common
Bullshit
All the money not go to jpj
We need to remind ourselves we are in MALAYSIA ?
Come on…. There are 1001 important things the MOT can do…..but selling number plate isn’t one of them
Yes, U are right. Now we have another 1,000 important things left to do.
In order to the 1001 things,money needed. To raise funds, government needs to do something so this is 1 of the efforts.
Think before saying something.
MALAYSIA 808.
Hehe
Great. More of the same. Just different people.
difference now is,the bulk of the profits will go directly to government instead of some NGO.
I find it hard to comprehend that plate ” Malaysia 2020 ” is reserved for Tun M while it can be sold off to a wealthy individuals for a huge sum of money. Wrong decision, Loke
Its just his sense of respect toward Tun. Toward wawasan 2020 is Tun’s vision previously.
must save the number for crony first mah before rakyat..crony first rakyat 2nd or last
OMG so lame…
What is trendy for u then? Ppl has to say something is it?
