PORT KLANG: The Transport Ministry, through the Road Transport Department (JPJ), has collected more than RM24mil in revenue from bids for the special registration number (NPI) series 'A__A', in conjunction with JPJ's 79th anniversary celebration.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the highest successful bid was RM902,020 for the number A9A, followed by A11A and A8A, which fetched RM703,007 and RM700,000 respectively.
He added that A7A was the fourth highest at RM502,000, followed by A2A at RM490,888.
"The five most bid-for numbers were A51A with 40 bidders, A101A with 31, A8118A with 29, A1881A with 27, and A19A also with 27 bidders," he said during a press conference after launching a training programme for car carrier lorry drivers on handling electric vehicles (EVs) here on Thursday (April 24).
Loke said the revenue from special number plate bids, including the 'AA' series, would be channelled back to the public through various Ministry of Transport initiatives such as the MyLesen programme, helmet exchange campaigns, and the FlySiswa travel initiative.
He also extended his thanks to all participants who took part in the online bidding exercise for the A_A series via the JPJeBid system, which opened on April 19 and closed Wednesday (April 23). – Bernama
