UUM number plate series – bids open, ends March 1

Posted on Feb 17, 2020


UUM series car plate number Another public university has announced the availability of a special number plate series – Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) is the latest institution to offer a unique plate, with its UUM series now open for bidding. Bids for the series, which will offer ‘UUM 1’ to ‘UUM 9999’ plates, will end on March 1.
The university is the fourth to announce the sale of special plates. In July last year, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) was reported to have successfully received approval to sell UMT plates, and last month tenders were announced for Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) series plates. All three sets offer plates from ‘1’ to ‘9999’.
The sale of previously issued special number plates to non-governmental organisations ended on December 31, 2019, but the government is still allowing access of special vehicle registration plates to private companies and public universities, for the purpose of raising funds for themselves. All have to be approved by the road transport department (JPJ)
According to a previous report, public universities will have to pay RM500,000 for 10,000 registrations, and must resell the plates within three years or return the plates to the department.

UTM buka bidaan jualan nombor plat khas hari ini

Posted on Dec 2, 2019


UTM series car plate number KUALA LUMPUR - Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) muncul universiti awam pertama menyahut seruan kerajaan dengan membuka bidaan penjualan nombor pendaftaran khas ‘UTM’ bermula hari ini.
Naib Canselor UTM, Datuk Ir Dr Wahid Omar berkata, UTM antara universiti awam terawal mengemukakan permohonan bagi penjualan nombor pendaftaran khas bagi menjana dana untuk pembangunan universiti, penyelidikan dan membantu pelajar yang kurang berkemampuan.
“Sesi pertama bidaan nombor pendaftaran khas ‘UTM’ dibuka bermula hari ini sehingga 16 Disember bagi nombor pendaftaran bermula 1 hingga 9,999 sahaja.
“Mereka yang membida pada harga paling tinggi pada nombor yang dipilih akan diumumkan sebagai berjaya dalam proses itu,” katanya ketika berucap pada majlis Pelancaran dan Pembukaan Bidaan Nombor Pendaftaran Khas ‘UTM’ di sini, malam ini yang dilancarkan Menteri Pengangkutan, Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
Inisiatif penjualan nombor pendaftaran kenderaan khas itu selaras dengan keputusan Mesyuarat Jemaah Menteri pada 30 Mei 2018 yang bersetuju membenarkan universiti awam menjana pendapatan melalui penjualan nombor plat khas menggunakan nama ringkas universiti masing-masing.
Terdahulu, Anthony Loke dalam ucapannya berkata, langkah UTM dan beberapa universiti awam lain (dalam menjual nombor pendaftaran khas) perlu diikuti oleh semua universiti awam bagi menjana pendapatan universiti masing-masing.
“Saya percaya ini langkah terbaik dalam membantu universiti menjana pendapatan. Mengikut dasar baharu kerajaan, semua nombor pendaftaran kerajaan hanya boleh dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan dan bukan lagi badan bukan kerajaan.
“Ia merupakan salah satu usaha kerajaan mempertingkatkan sistem penyampaian perkhidmatan kepada pelanggan di samping mendekati tuntutan dan harapan pelanggan yang sentiasa meningkat,” katanya.
Menurutnya, hanya universiti awam yang dibenarkan menjual nombor pendaftaran khas itu dan setakat ini, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Malaya, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi Mara dan Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia turut memulakan inisiatif tersebut

Posted on Nov 6, 2019


UKM series car plate number BANGI: Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) launched its signature vehicle registration numbers today to commemorate the university’s upcoming golden jubilee.

“This provision has been discontinued to ensure transparency.

New window tint ruling for Malaysian vehicles - darker rear windows now allowed, pay RM5k to go full black

Posted on May 7, 2019


jpj new window tint rule The government has announced revisions to the current vehicle tinting guidelines, which were last revised in February 2016 when updated regulations filed under Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Certain Types of Glass) (Amendment) Rules 2016 replaced the previous 1991 rules.
At present, current regulations stipulate that the minimum visible light transmission (VLT) percentages are 70% for the front windscreen, 50% for the front side windows, and 30% for the rear windows and the rear windscreen.
This has now been amended for the rear windows and rear windscreen, with the new regulations allowing VLT percentages to be reduced below 30%, provided there are two side mirrors (as in left and right) attached to the vehicle, according to the transport ministry.
This means that a vehicle can theoretically have its rear windows and rear windscreen darkened to 0% (effectively making it a panel vehicle. Panel SUV and sedan, anyone?). The defined legal VLT percentage for the front windscreen remains unchanged at 70%, as does the percentage for the front driver and passenger side windows, at 50%.
The ministry added that the new ruling is applicable only for private vehicles. Motor vehicles registered and used for public transport and goods will have the permissible VLT levels for their windows and screens continuing to be set not lower than 70%.
Motorists looking to darken their vehicle completely will be able to lower the VLT levels of the front windscreen and front driver/passenger side windows, but will need to apply for this and it will involve cost. In its statement, the ministry said that any individual may apply to darken their vehicle’s front windscreen and front side windows (either through the use of darker privacy glass or window tint film) for specific reasons, be it safety or health factors.
A service fee of RM50 will be charged for each application submitted for safety/security purposes, and each approved application will be charged RM5,000. Each approval granted is valid for a period of two years, which means that those with approvals to use darker front windows and windscreen will need to re-apply when the validity period for that use expires, and they will need to pay the fee again for another two years of use, and so forth.
As previously reported, exemption will be given to vehicle owners who need to utilise a completely darkened vehicle because of medical conditions, but applications for exemption on such grounds need a written confirmation from a government physician.
The ministry said that the amendment has been aimed at providing all motorists with the convenience of darker rear windows - and cooler vehicles - but will also contribute to improving government revenue. According to transport minister Anthony Loke, the government projects that the estimated annual income from fees will be worth around RM6 million annually.
The new window tint rules will be effective from May 8, 2019. The ministry said that any application for exclusion may be submitted from the effective date of this amendment, and enforcement of these new rules will commence three months from the date the rules come into force.

'Malaysia 1' number plate goes for RM1,111,111 - gov't collects more than RM13 million from the plate series

Posted on August 27, 2018


car plate number malaysia The 'Malaysia' special number plate series has set a new record for the highest sum paid for a specific vehicle registration plate, with RM1,111,111 being paid for 'Malaysia 1'. The successful bid by Aldi International broke the previous record held by 'V1', which was purchased for RM989,000 in 2016, The Star reports.
The Johor-based company also successfully won the bids for 'Malaysia 2' (RM422,000) and 'Malaysia 4' (RM162,000), which were the fourth and seventh highest bids for the special Malaysia plates, which have been introduced in conjunction with the upcoming Merdeka Day celebrations and was first announced back in June this year. The third highest bid was RM501,500 for 'Malaysia 99', which went to the owner of mini-market chain 99 Speedmart.
The series, which runs from 'Malaysia 1' to 'Malaysia 9999', has raked in more than RM13 million for the government, according to transport minister Anthony Loke. "Through this exercise, the government has earned RM13.1 million. All of this money will go into the government's coffers. The number of successful bids was 3,353," he said. A total of 6,645 numbers in the series are still available,
Meanwhile, 'Malaysia 8055' received the highest number of bids, at 49. The winning bid for that plate was RM81,888. Other numbers that drew a large number of bids included 'Malaysia 100', with 31 bids, and 'Malaysia 1957', which received 29 bids
Loke said he placed a bid for 'Malaysia 509' but did not manage to obtain the number as his RM1,509 bid was 11th highest, well behind the winning bid of RM20,000. "This shows that our government is transparent in number plate bidding, as even a minister can lose out," he explained.
Loke said the exercise revealed that the previous government lost more than RM100 million in potential revenue by issuing special registration numbers to non-governmental bodies, only making RM1 million per series from the tender of each. "Let's say, one series of special plate numbers can collect about RM5 million. We have had over 30 special series before this. That is over RM100 million that could have gone to the government," he said.
"Now, we will close this leakage and ensure all bidding goes directly into the government's coffers. Looking at the encouraging response to the Malaysia series, we will announce more special plates from time to time as a means to increase government earnings," he stated.

Number plates earned Perlis JPJ RM45m in two years

Posted on July 16, 2018


car plate number malaysia Number plates are serious business these days, and while the new government has put a stop to privately issued number plates, there are still some attractive "running series" numbers available. Perlis, with its R suffix, has churned out quite a few of late, and unsurprisingly, they've raked in a tidy sum for the state Road Transport Department (JPJ).
Perlis JPJ has revealed that it collected RM45.17 million from vehicle plate number tenders from 2015 until last year. In that period, the highest collection was from the RR series, which alone raked RM12.2 million last year. The RM series was also popular.
"The highest bid in Perlis JPJ's history was made for RR 6 at RM459,800," director Shahrul Azhar Mat Dali told reporters at the the department's Hari Raya event in Kangar last week, reported by Bernama. He added that revenue collected so far this year from the sale of plate numbers is RM12.07 million.
With RX done and dusted, the latest series is RY 1 to RY 9999, which was open for tender on July 5. Bidding for RY closes at noon on July 18.

YA number plate series - bidding opens for run-out

Posted on July 3, 2018


car plate number malaysia The government may have called time on special number plates being sold by NGOs, but it looks like there's still a run-out series or two left. One of these that look to have been approved before the new government came into power is YA, which joins the Y and YY plates that are already on the market.
Bidding for the series - numbered from YA 1 to YA 9999 - opened on July 1 and will end on July 13, with successful bids being announced on July 23. Minimum bid pricing for a single digit number is set at RM50,000, while two and three digit numbers start from RM5,000 and RM2,000 respectively. Tender prices for four digit numbers, meanwhile, begin from RM500.
The last special plate introduced via the NGO route was UP, but there have been a host of special plates in recent times. These include G1G-G999G, X, XX, YY, UU, GTR, GG, SAM, K1M, T1M, A1M, US, SMS, NBOS, NAAM, VIP, G, GT, U, Y, PERFECT, PATRIOT and FB, the last by JPJ itself.
The transport ministry said that existing special series plates that were previously approved will still be able to be sold over the next year. Transport minister Anthony Loke said earlier this month that a one-year grace period is being given to NGOs to sell and register numbers for their approved series. He added that there will be no extension to the time limit given by the government, and that no renewals will be permitted.
That doesn't mean the end of special plates, of course, but just that it will all come only from one channel, namely the government. The first one, called 'Malaysia', will be open for bidding at all state JPJ HQs on August 1.

'U' number plate series open for bidding - U1 to U9999

Posted on Aug 30, 2017


car plate number malaysia Here's another new number plate series for those wanting to stand out. The 'U' series - U 1 to U 9999 - also allows for a short number plate with only one alphabet. The numbers were open for bidding last week, and the end of the tender period is September 8. Results will be out on September 18.
The series is being auctioned by "iM4U Sentral" which could mean that it's the same people behind the previous 1M4U plate series. Interested parties can make reservations from as low as RM50, but of course, plates go to the highest bidders. Conversely, there are no maximum prices, and bids can go as high as the demand a particular number attracts.
Lately, there have been many chasing the '8055' number to tell the world that they are the boss, as seen with 'AKU 8055', but I wonder if "U 8055" would be half as popular. Fans of U2 might want to show their devotion via a number plate, while angry types could print out their constant Cantonese cursing on a number plate - U 114, U 967 and so on. Good luck!

'AKU BOSS' more popular but 'AKU 1' most expensive plate

Posted on Aug 24, 2017


IPOH: The AKU 1305 (I am Boss) vehicle registration number may be the most popular but AKU 1 (I am First) is the most expensive in the AKU series.
While AKU 1305 has the most bid with 49 people interested, AKU 1 secured the highest bid which was made at RM207,898.
The AKU 1305 numbers resemble the Malay phrase "Aku Bos."
Perak Road Transport Department director Mohd Zawawi Zakaria (pic) said the highest bid for AKU 1305 was only at RM20,000.

"We were quite surprised that it was not the case here," he told a press conference on Thursday.
The numbers available for registration are divided into four categories, including golden numbers (1 to 10), attractive numbers (11 to 19), repetitive numbers (such as 66, 777 or 9999) and popular numbers.
Bidding for golden numbers starts from RM10,000, attractive and repetitive numbers from RM2,000 upwards, while popular numbers begin from RM300.
Bidding for the AKU series closed on July 18.
The most expensive Perak registration by far is AKK 1, which was sold for RM288,000 last year.
Mohd Zawawi said for the AKU series, the tender applications received were about five times more than usual.
"We usually get between 500 and 600 applications for other number plates.
"For the AKU series, we received 3,315 applications," he said, adding that the total revenue collected from the series was about RM3.5mil.
"Only 3,076 applications were accepted with the rest rejected due to incomplete details or no payment received," he added.

US number plates on sale in Malaysia: US 1 to US 1000

Posted on July 14, 2017


car plate number malaysia Yet another special number plate series is now available for Malaysian vehicles - 'US' is the latest to join 'SMS', 'RIMAU', 'PERFECT', 'NAAM', 'VIP' as well as 'GT' from 2016 and the 'PATRIOT' plate from 2015 on the unique plates list.
The alphabets in the plate series isn’t the shortened form of United States, but Untuk Seniman, and is brought about by the Malaysian Artistes Association (Seniman). Unlike the normal number plate series, which is available from 1 to 9999, the US plate will only run from US 1 to US 1000. As usual, the plates will be issued by the Road Transport Department (JPJ).
Seniman president Zed Zaidi said that the proceeds gained from the project will raise funds to help artists under the association. He added that bidding is open to the public from this coming Saturday, and the tender will close on August 20, with successful bidders being able to register their number as early as October 1, pending approval from JPJ.
Apparently, reserve prices have been listed for the series - US 1 is the priciest, at RM500,000, followed by the other single digits (two to nine) at RM250,000. Double numbers (12 to 98) start from RM25,000, with the exception of US 10, which is priced at RM100,000. Gold double numbers (for example, 22, 55, 77 etc) are priced at RM50,000.
Regular triple numbers to 999 start from RM3,000, except for gold triples (111, 333, 666 etc), which like the double doubles go for RM50,000. Some special triple numbers (101, 515, 767, 808 etc) are priced at RM5,000, and the last number in the series, US 1000 has a reserve price of RM10,000. Reserve prices being a suggestion, one wonders how much the US 4 plate will eventually go for.

Perak JPJ opens bidding for 'AKU 8055' number plate

Posted on July 3, 2017


car plate number malaysia
If you enjoy using the phrase "like a boss" often, good news! The Perak Road Transport Department (JPJ) has started accepting bids for the 'AKU' number plate series, and among the most coveted vehicle registration numbers are 'AKU 805', 'AKU 8055' and 'AKU 1305'.
While most single-digit number plates are popular among buyers, these ones are special as they resemble the Malay phrase, "Aku Boss." In the report by The Star, state JPJ director-general Mohd Zawawi Zakaria said they were expecting many bids for these plates. "The bidding starts today and ends on July 18," he noted.
Aside from the "boss" registration numbers, three categories of numbers will still be offered, namely golden numbers, attractive or repetitive numbers and popular numbers. According to Mohd Zawawi, golden numbers (1 to 10) have a minimum bid of RM10,000, attractive (11 to 19) or repetitive (like 22, 777, 8888, etc.) numbers start at RM2,000, and popular numbers start from RM300.
"Even though 805, 8055 and 1305 are normal running numbers, these numbers will be listed under the popular numbers category due to expected demand," he said. Mohd Zawawi did issue a word of caution to the potential winning bidder for 'AKU 1305' so as not to place the '1' and '3' to closely so that it reads like a 'B'.
So, how much do you think the winning bid for the 'AKU 8055' plate will be?

New prefix for vehicle number plates in Putrajaya, KL

Posted on May 19, 2016 at 12:00 AM


Registration numbers in Putrajaya will use 'F', and Kuala Lumpur 'V' from next month, after huge decline in bids under current format, says deputy transport minister.


KUALA LUMPUR: From next month, new vehicles registered in Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur will receive a new prefix for the number plates.
Deputy Transport Minister Aziz Kaprawi said all vehicle number plates in Putrajaya would have "F" as the prefix while "V" is assigned to Kuala Lumpur.
He said the ministry decided on the change after a request from Putrajaya Corporation.

"'F' means Federal. Starting June 1, 'F' will be the new prefix for vehicle registration plates in Putrajaya.

"For Kuala Lumpur, JPJ will introduce 'V'. This is likely to happen after Putrajaya, in order to make it easier for the public and to encourage car owners to bid for fancy numbers (two digit) and popular numbers (four digit)," he said.

Aziz said the public preferred the format for vehicle registration numbers to have a simple prefix of one to three letters, followed by the one- to four-digit numbers, as had been the case previously.
The current algorithm in Kuala Lumpur that started off with "W 1 A" in September 2013 will be phased off in stages beginning mid-July, according to JPJ director-general Ismail Ahmad.
"This change is based on a huge decline in bidding received for the current Kuala Lumpur registration plate sequence. So I hope with the 'V' prefix, it will get people excited," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby.
He said JPJ's revenue in the capital city had dropped from RM10 million to RM6 million in terms of bidding so far received for the current Kuala Lumpur vehicle registration sequence.
For Putrajaya, Aziz said "F" was chosen instead of a suggestion by Putrajaya Corporation to use "Putrajaya", as it was "too long" to fit in the registration plate.
Commenting further, Aziz expected the bidding craze to start with the "F 1" registration plate.
"I think many Ferrari owners will be queuing up to bid (in Putrajaya) for the single alphabet of 'F' (registration plate)," he said.

We see car number plate on the road everyday, but how much do you know about it? Before we start, let's get ourselves familiar with the registration prefix of each states:

A - Perak | B - Selangor | C - Pahang | D - Kelantan | J - Johor | K - Kedah | M - Malacca | N - Negeri Sembilan | P - Penang | R - Perlis | T - Terengganu | W - Kuala Lumpur | Langkawi (KV) | L - Labuan | Q - Sarawak | S - Sabah | Putrajaya - Putrajaya

Now, here are the 10 things you didn't know about Malaysia's car number plate.

1) Did you know certain alphabetical letters are omitted from our car plates?

The letters I and O are omitted from the alphabetical sequences due to their similarities with the numbers 1 and 0. The letters Z is omitted and reserved for use on Malaysian military vehicles. This answers why the W series' traditional 7-character format was exhausted at WYY 9999 not WZZ 9999. For the new series, the last number will then eventually be WYY 9999 Y.

2) Why Cars in Perak Were Registered as letter 'A', Selangor as letter 'B' and so on?

Rumour has it that Perak's Cars were registered as 'A' because Perak is the first state to have a car, and later Selangor with 'B' and so on. This is not true! Here's why:

In the early days before 1945, Perak was PK and Penang PG. The British Military Administration restarted the system in 1945 with 'A' for Perak, 'B' for Selangor etc to prevent confusion between Singapore and Selangor, Perak and Penang etc.
