The road transport department (JPJ) has reminded the public it remains an offence to put number plates that do not conform to specifications on vehicles, reiterating the point via a social media post on its FB page that includes image examples of fancy vehicle number plates not complying with specifications.
Aside from illegal stylised fonts and surfaces (such as carbon print), the illegal plates JPJ are alluding to are those with merged or modified letters/numbers to read a phrase, name or other meaning, as seen on these examples above. They do not impact approved special plate series’ such as PERFECT, PATRIOT and the government-issued Malaysia special series, which are permissible.
Motorists are advised to comply with rules outlined in specifications set under the Road Transport Act (APJ) 1987 when installing vehicle registration numbers on their vehicles. If found in violation of the rules, vehicle owners will be taken to task, and can face a fine of not less than RM300 and not more than RM3,000 under Section 14 (4) APJ 1987.
Similar to the call made last year, the department advised the public to report any vehicles that have confusing, vague or fancy registration plates by taking photos and submitting them to the department via email at [email protected], along with other relevant details.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
JPJ should provide the license plate when we register the new car. The cars with JPJ license plates are not required to pay the road tax. Only charges for the cost license plate. I believe these issues will reduce the enforcement problem and be efficient.
Copy paste: “You just gave them idea to gain more profits for cronies! hahaha. 1 stamped plate charged kaw2 rm100”
What is so difficult for JPJ or any civil servant to come out with the idea of standardized stamped aluminium plate number like in other countries??? Only the authorities can issue it instead of any plate/nametag/sticker studio. More revenue for the government too!
First, who will start it? Which MP?
You just gave them idea to gain more profits for cronies! hahaha. 1 stamped plate charged kaw2 rm100
Regardless how much you pay for road tax when registered it comes with plate number. Once broken, get replaced online and posted to registered owners.
Tu bukan kerja saya.
Aaaah, malas la. Mai, pee minum.
It should also include all kinds of crests and emblems that they put on their number plate, to show that they are a datuk or something. Anything other than the number on the plate is illegal.

Eh..if we report I think we should get incentive to do so. maybe rm50 give to us from the rm300 Saman. Why are we the one doing JPJ job? Tido ke JPJ xmau ronda?
non compliant car plate usually single digit fitted on alphard veilfire with fully blackened windows
Laws against fancy number plates have been around since 1987, and yet, there are vehicle owners who do not know about this. JPJ should think about including this in the driving school syllabus to create awareness.
I think nobody will be rajin enough to report them, since there isn’t any small rewards for the reporter
Seen a Ferrari with registration MAT 1, and the owner put the plate with large letter – MATI!
Same, I saw one “MAY 47” stylized like “MAYAT” .. although this is fake story
This will deter falsifying number plates by would be robbers too.
Again passing the buck. If we can see it daily, why can’t you conduct road blocks? When you conduct an operation, why not inspect the entire car?
I see a speed trap conducted almost daily on the SPRINT stretch between Hartamas and PJ. And all variety of number plates are on display, all levels of tint can be seen, every conceivable sticker posted on the rear screen (which is illegal too, BTW). Why can’t you just coordinate?
This reminds me of captchas. Humans can distinguish the text but not robots.
Should giv saman on the spot during JPJ or Police during their patrol routine when spotted those illegal plate instead of taking action during road block.
Also go for noisy motorcycles and noisy cars. Stop all heavy tinting. Disallow pickups from transforming into battle wagons so much so they look like armoured carriers.
Stop smoky and noisy vehicles. Stop all heavy tinting. Disallow pickups from transforming themselves into battle wagons.
small change to those that can afford the fines.
Might as well sell template of various design and pay if you want to use it
Why stop at racking money from just plat numbers alone?
Nape tak mintak kita repot budak delivery langgar lampu merah?
Not only fancy plates. Have you seen cars and bikes without number plate at the back and front??!
a lot of the supercar owners no front plates, but nobody catch
Better focus saman on people cut que on ttaffic jam. Atleast this no plate not harm other people.
Easily modified uncontrolled plate number are widely used by criminals which harm the people. Period
Saman the car owner. If they could tell who make the plate for them, give them 50% discount saman rate and saman 200% who make the plate for them.
