A few weeks back, it was announced that the FF number plate series received the highest bids, a whopping RM34.3 million, in the country’s history since the introduction of online bidding. At that point, the number plate, FF8, received the highest bid at RM950,000.
Now, it looks like another number plate has surpassed that bid.
Transport Minister, Anthony Loke Siew Fook, took to his Facebook page to announce that the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, has officially purchased the FF 1 number plate for RM1.2 million, making it the highest bid on a number plate in Malaysia!
He wrote, “This morning (June 11), I went before His Majesty the Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim to symbolically present the FF1 number plate to His Majesty, who is now the owner of the unique, special number. His Majesty had agreed to pay the government RM1.2 million for the special number!”
The Sultan of Johor now owns the highest bid for just one number plate in Malaysia.
“For the record, the payment of RM1.2 million is the highest amount ever collected by the government for the registration of one vehicle number plate.”
“This payment makes the total government revenue collection for the FF number plate series to RM35.4 million!”
We wonder which one of His Majesty’s luxury or sport cars will wear the number plate.
