M_M special number plate series stands for ‘Malaysia Merdeka’, bidding starts on August 31, from RM300

The transport ministry has released a special number plate series in conjunction with Malaysia’s 66th National Day celebrations. The M_M plates will see double Ms sandwiching a number (M 123 M, for instance), and it stands for ‘Malaysia Merdeka’.

Bidding on JPJ eBid starts on the big day itself, August 31, and will end at 10pm on September 4, which is next Monday. Results will be out the day after the auction closes.

The minimum bid for top tier ‘golden numbers’ is RM20k, and the starting amount for attractive and popular numbers are RM3,000 and RM800 respectively. Regular running numbers have a minimum price of RM300. In truth, these figures don’t really matter as the numbers will be going for much bigger sums. If you win, the number is valid for 12 months – you have one year to register it on a vehicle.

If you have never bid for a number yourself, check out our step-by-step guide on how to navigate JPJ eBid and the techniques needed to get your preferred number at “retail price”.

      This M_M emoji also meant fists being handcuffed and this how the rakyat felt being restricted and constantly being threatened jail time. New Malaysia feels more like Nazi era Gestapo Malaysia. Fight to save our country’s kemerdekaan!

    Something tells me all this special no plates is hard to bid unless you have lots of money. Best to buy leftover no.s from resellers or get agent to do it for you.

    • You will be the reason this number series is expensive if you go through agents. There is a step by step guide in paultan.org linked here so do it yourself if you want to minimize resellers.

  • JPJ seriously need to into their server/network capacity to continue offering online bidding. It’s a very frustrating process during the last 30 mins. My last successful bid was at 21:43, then I cannot log-in again to check status despite repeated trying till 22:00. At last, saw someone over bid me at 21:48. If I can log-in, I still have a good 12 minutes to re-bid. It’s more like a “LUCK” game now. Good luck if you can log-in during the very last few minutes
