Bidding for unique GOLD vehicle registration plates opens up tomorrow!

For those who like unusual fancy number plates, there's some exciting news from Transport Minister, Anthony Loke. Starting this Thursday (February 1, 2024), you'll have the chance to bid for some really cool vehicle registration numbers online.

Yep, you heard it right! The JPJeBid system is opening up bids until 10 PM on February 5th, so mark your calendars.

This time it's extra special because it's all to celebrate the 50th Hari Wilayah Persekutuan. The Transport Ministry and JPJ are rolling out these GOLD series registration numbers, symbolising the golden jubilee. Goldtastic right?

Now, here's the deal with the pricing: starting bids kick off from RM20,000 for those super coveted prime numbers. If you're into attractive numbers, it's RM3,000, popular numbers go for RM800, and the regular ones are just RM300.

If you win a bid, you've got a year to get that number on your ride from the date the official bid results are out. Loke's hoping this whole shindig will bring in a good chunk of change for the government.

The GOLD series offer is part of the ministry's efforts to fund various initiatives like driving license assistance, helmet aid, and the FlySISWA subsidy.

So, if you're feeling generous and want to support the government's initiatives, why not jump into the bidding action? It's all part of the ministry and JPJ's move towards fully digital service delivery.

And get this – the last time JPJ did something like this with the FF registration series, they raked in almost RM35 million. Let's see if we can top that!

For those who do not know, FlySISWA is a program in Malaysia aimed at assisting university students, particularly those from low-income families, by providing subsidized flight tickets.

This initiative is designed to ease the burden of travel costs for students studying in universities that are far from their hometowns, enabling them to travel back home more affordably.

The program reflects the government's commitment to supporting the education sector and ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder students from maintaining close family ties. It's one of the many initiatives that cater to the welfare and needs of students in Malaysia.
