the license plate prefix by state is an outdated system. It is the same as the now defunct 3-digit mobile phone prefix numbers. Nobody cares which state a vehicle is registered anymore (besides those looking for fancy alphabets) because we can register our cars at any state from the anywhere. I dont see why this system is still being used.
I agree when anyone can buy a different state prefix, the novelty of a state plate is now diminished. I just hope that a buyer is only allowed to buy a state prefixes based on their IC or their work address. I’ve been missing out on a few number because of the online bid syatem
the issue is any runner can register your car from any state now. no control anymore. So they should just remove these state prefix altogether, because it serves no purpose. You see cars from any states on the road now. in fact, even the cars in my household purchased in recent years have all different state plates. So why dont JPJ just revamp the entire prefix system into a nation-wide one? Abang Anthony Loke, need your poking again please.
is the system broken? if not why waste money changing it? is the system still needed? do you have proven better alternative apart from coffee shop bragging?
dah outdate bang. ko sakit hati sbb baru bid plet mahal mahal ye? wakakak
lol…i never bid for stupid letter. also how is it outdated? we use fourier transform that is over 200 years old. it is old, but not outdated.
and yes i see plate bidder as money waster
SYY for bidding, car plate mockup on the X50 is SU-K. Someone is not being very meticulous.
