Not every number has takers in the JPJ eBid auction – that’s how the rest of us get random ‘running numbers’ if we don’t pay for our pick. This applies to special or ‘rare’ plates as well, and the road transport department is now offering the leftover numbers of the PETRA series.
PETRA is an acronym for the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation and it was announced at the Program Madani Rakyat 2024 Sarawakku Sayang event in September 2024.
Previously, remainder number plates can be browsed and bought at JPJ’s Putrajaya HQ or at state JPJ offices, but lately they’ve put it online on JPJ’s MySikap portal, like the ‘mega clearance sale’ in April.
After you log in, head to the ‘kenderaan’ section and look for ‘tempahan nombor pendaftaran’. Then, select ‘nombor pendaftaran istimewa’ from the drop down menu and choose your series/number. You can pay via credit card or FPX and press ‘cetak’ for your receipt. Click on the graphics above for a clearer picture. The online sale starts today, June 23, and it’s on a first come, first served basis.
No mention of price, but previous clearance sales had ‘popular’ numbers at RM510 each inclusive of a service fee, or RM310 each for regular numbers.
