GOLD 1 number plate belongs to Agong – RM1.5 mil paid by Sultan Ibrahim is highest ever bid in Malaysia

The ‘GOLD 1’ number plate belongs to DYMM Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar. The monarch, who was sworn in as Malaysia’s 17th Agong on January 31, put in a bid of RM1.5 million, which is the highest ever bid for a number plate in Malaysia.

The funds will of course go to the federal government’s coffers – that’s the point of JPJ releasing special number plates. Today, transport minister Anthony Loke presented a symbolic GOLD 1 number plate to Sultan Ibrahim at Istana Negara.

Announced on January 30, the GOLD number plate series is to commemorate the golden jubilee celebration of the 50th Federal Territories Day. Bidding was held online from February 1-5, but there are leftover numbers that you can still buy from JPJ Putrajaya and state HQs for RM510 each, inclusive of a service fee. The number may not be very VIP, but hey, it’s still gold!

    What’s the point? Agong use taxpayers money to pay. So govt never make 1.5million la. It’s all rakyat money going back to govt for rasuah

      Don’t slander him, unlike most royalty he is a successful entrepreneur that is genuinely rich from his businesses rather than feeding off the rakyat.

      by using your logic, then no point for gov to use taxpayers money to give bantuan to rakyat especially to b40, which is dont pay tax at all. gov already got profit from taxpayers, but have to give back to the one who dont pay tax at all. make sense ke. afaik, ydpa has his own family business. before became ydpa, ydpa already buy a lot of plate no with the highest price. taxpayer money? i bet ydpa doesnt care at all, ydpa already rich.

    Dulu DAP buat hal nak pakai songkok, until Agong titah for them must wear. Now Agong not wear songkok but DAP are wearing them. Power has corrupted their principles. If their to return as the folk heroes & justice fighters, they better be out of the Gahmen.

      Helo.. Jgn engkau buat hal sama ada DYMMYDPA ada atau tidak ada memakai songkok. Kalau baginda ada bertitah bahawa seorg menteri perlu memakai songkok ketika mengadap baginda & menteri tersebut ada mematuhi titah baginda, maka ini menunjukkan bahawa menteri tersebut menghormati raja. Buat apa engkau nak mempolitikkan perkara ini???
