  Fleet management company Spanco has sponsored 55 Yamaha Ego Avantiz scooters for Putra Heights gas pipeline fire victims as well as road tax and insurance for the first year, reports Bernama, with transport minister Anthony Loke saying Hong Leong Yamaha Motor agreed to reduce the unit price to RM5,000 from the RM5,800 retail.

  “In the geran (Vehicle Ownership Certificate), their names are already registered as the owners. So they don’t have to pay anything,” he said, adding that the recipients were mostly residents of Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru, where many motorcycles were damaged.

  

  

  “Of course this helps them because motorcycles are not only their mode of transportation as some people also need motorcycles to earn a living. So this is another way for us to help them return to normal life as soon as possible,” he said at the recent handover ceremony held at Putra Heights LRT station.

  Besides facilitating registrations of the bikes, which all wear MADANI plates, the road transport department (JPJ) distributed free helmets to the recipients.

• Businessman demands RM1.3 mil from government over alleged infringement of MADANI plate copyright

  In Local News / By Anthony Lim / 5 November 2024 1:06 pm / 13 comments

  

  A dispute has cropped up regarding the MADANI special number plate series, with a businessman having issued a demand for RM1.3 million from the government over an alleged copyright infringement of the plate and the idea behind it.

  As the New Straits Times reports, Ilham Madani director Hasan Azhari Hashim has given the transport ministry and the road transport department (JPJ) seven days to pay the compensation before he files a civil suit over the matter.

  In his letter of demand, the businessman claimed he was the rightful owner of the copyrighted work titled “Proposal Paper for the Creation of a Special Serial Vehicle Registration Number Madani 1 to Madani 9999 for Registration in Malaysia,” and said that the work had been lawfully registered in the copyright register under Section 26B of the Copyright Act.

  

  Hasan claimed he sent a letter last year to prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim proposing a collaboration for the sale of the numbers, but the proposal fell through after the government declined the collaboration in a series of letters exchanged since last year.

  The MADANI plate was announced last month, and bidding for the numbers in the series ran from October 19 to 23. On October 28, JPJ revealed that the plate series recorded a total revenue generation of RM2,623,329 when bidding ended on October 23, with ‘MADANI 6’ obtaining the highest bid of RM68,888. A total of 5,632 bids were received, with 3,263 successfully winning the vehicle registration numbers that they were interested in.

  It has been previously stated that proceeds from the sales of the MADANI series are to be used by the transport ministry to realise government initiatives such as the MyLesen programme, helmet exchange programme, FLYsiswa and many more.

• MADANI special number plate series collects RM2.6 million; significantly less than other special plate runs

  In Local News / By Mick Chan / 25 October 2024 10:20 am / 18 comments

  

  Bidding for the MADANI special series of number plates has ended October 23, with RM2.6 million in revenue generated from sales of plates from this series, transport minister Anthony Loke said, reported New Straits Times.

  “We have raised a total of RM2.6 million as of to date. The statement regarding the bidding results would be issued soon,” Loke said. Bidding for the plate series opened on Saturday, October 19, with a minimum bid of RM100 for running numbers, while the minimum bid for popular numbers was set at RM500.

  However, the sum collected by the MADANI special plate series is very low compared to other official JPJ special plate runs. According to JPJ, the special series is a government initiative to support the MADANI Malaysia agenda by promoting civic values.

  Proceeds from sales of the plates in this series would be used to realise the implementation of initiatives under the transport ministry such as the MyLesen programme, the Helmet Exchange Program, FlySISWA, Socso payments to taxi drivers and various other initiatives.

  

  

  The GOLD special series that was released to commemorate the 50th Federal Territories Day collected over RM17 million from more than 23,000 bidders, including the leading plate GOLD 1 which belongs to DYMM Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar, who put in a bid of RM1.5 million for the plate.

  The M_M special plate series – which stands for ‘Malaysia Merdeka’ – offered regular running numbers from RM300, up to a minimum mid for top-tier ‘golden numbers’ from RM20k. This series collected RM20 million from a total of 25,033 bidders, from which 6,872 bidders won their desired plates. The top bid was for M1M, which went for RM622k.

  In May 2023, the FF series of plates collected a total of RM34.2 million, surpassing that of the aforementioned GOLD series of plates. In terms of price, the FF plate series was topped by FF8, which collected RM950k, followed by FF9 which collected RM912k. The remaining three of the top five FF plates each collected more than RM600k.

  As of October 2022, the JPJ eBid online vehicle number plate bidding system collected RM286 million from 124 series of number plates, with an average of RM2.3 million collected per series released.
