Coverage of the JPJeBid online vehicle number plate bidding system continues to grow, with Penang the next state in line to begin using it for vehicle registration transactions, the New Straits Times reports.
According to road transport department (JPJ) director-general Datuk Seri Shaharuddin Khalid, online bidding for Penang plates will start with the PPC series plate, from August 2-6.
The system began as a pilot project in April with the Putrajaya FC plate series, and the new format was then adopted for serial use starting with the Federal Territory, with the VDN plate series in June. This was followed by its introduction in Kedah.
Shaharuddin said the e-bidding system had made the department’s work easier, with everything done online and the system automatically awarding a plate to the highest bidder. “It is time-saving. It runs on real time and is efficient. The system tabulates and announces the winner almost immediately after the bidding period ends. Those days, we used to take up to two weeks to tabulate and come to a conclusion,” he said.
He added that the new system has brought in RM9.6 million in revenue to the transport ministry via seven rounds of e-bidding – five in Kuala Lumpur, and one each in Putrajaya and Kedah. The procedure for registration and the bidding process remains unchanged from that detailed earlier.

Kudos to JPJ for the game-changing change. What took you gais so long LoL. Now 100% of the money from winning bids go directly into the government’s accounts. Well done DS Shaharuddin!

100% goes to crony pockets. This is worse that the previous special number plate system where only NGO & governmental bodies can issue the special plates. Yet another janji dicapati. Day by day, their decisions are making me regret even more to vote them.
It’s time our legistrators pass a new BIL to improve the vehicle license plate. Diffrenting Commercial registered vehicle versus Private registered vehicle. Maybe suggest have different colour background on the vehicle license plate instead of all now using black colour with white fonts.
Secondly should Standardized stamping of font size of the licence plate and no more fancy license plate please.

Copy paste: “Typical politicians. Dunno how to revamp the Ministry, dunno how to bring the archaic laws, regulations, system into 21st century.
Just want to make money to impress Tun. This is the low hanging fruit, try lah do then above. Baru orang cakap, ni Msia Baru.”
This is not real ebid!
Real ebid is a forward auction.
This way, gov can make more money!
This ebid is still old system masked by a new name!
From paper to paperless!
I really support this eBid system. Well done YAB and JPJ.
