The FF number plate series in Malaysia has been very well received, and the series has collected a total of RM34.2 million, making the FF number plate run the series that has yielded the highest collection since the launch of JPJ eBid, according to transport minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.

The reception towards the FF number plate series, in terms of numbers, saw 34,032 bidders in total for the series, of which 8,348 bidders won their bid, which means that from the 9,999 available numbers, 8,348 numbers from this series were bid upon.

In terms of popularity, the FF199 number plate received the most interest with 34 bidders, followed by FF51 with 32 bidders. There are three number plates from this series – FF155, FF555 and FF1688 – tied at third, with 29 bidders each.

The Putrajaya number plate series opened for tender on May 14, and the JPJ had announced a 24-hour extension on bidding to 10pm on May 19, subsequent to its original deadline on May 18.

According to the road transport department, the extension given was due to service disruption at the time, which led to complaints from the public due to the JPJ eBid’s system instability towards the end of the bidding period due to high traffic.

  • Too many open houses...a waste of germen resources on May 22, 2023 at 1:06 pm

    If this fund raising number plate thing is exploding at this pace,in no time,it will be the TOP cash cow just behind LHDN.
    Since not all the proceeds go the the same dept,high time YAB PMX,channel some of the proceeds to alleviate the overcrowding at germen hospitals.
    A friend wanted a specialist appointment at HKL..he was given Oct as the earliest.Since his condition is urgent,he has to spend a hundred times more to see a private specialist.

      Dulu under BN, fancy plate sales profit goes to pockets of charitable organisations that these plates represent. Now it all goes into Lokekor pockets.

  • Malaysians are such opportunistic hoarders who think they can turnaround profits quickly by reselling. Just look at the Coldplay concert tickets being snapped up by non fans and resold for many times over on the secondhand market. Let’s all teach them a lesson: Don’t buy or support in any way second hand number plates or concert tickets. Let them pay through their noses. Look at all the adverts on FB for number plates. When the buying stop, the “killing” will as well. Cheers!
