On February 20th, His Majesty the King of Malaysia, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim, made headlines by winning the bid for the special edition “GOLD 1” plate registration number for RM1.5 million. Just today, he set another world record by adding yet another unique plate registration number to his collection.
His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim announced on his Facebook page that he is now the proud owner of the special edition license plate “FFF 1” after he placed the highest bid of RM1.75 MILLION.
Special edition license plate of RM1.75M!
Aside from the “GOLD 1” plate registration number, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim also purchased the “FF 1” number plate on June 12 last year for RM1.2 million.
The 1.75 million bid has set a new record, surpassing his previous records for the highest amount ever paid for a car number plate in the country.
The caption of the post reads,
“The value of the vehicle registration number bid is channeled to the federal government to assist the people. The special edition vehicle license plate “FFF 1″ now belongs to His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, after he placed the highest bid of RM1.75 million.”
Assistances for the people of Malaysia
His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim expressed his hope that the funds from the bid, which will go to the federal government, will be used to benefit the people.
In response to His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim’s announcement, Transport Minister Anthony Loke mentioned that these initiatives could benefit the people, including airfare assistance for students (FlySiswa) between the Peninsular, Sabah, and Sarawak, the MyLesen program for the B40 group, and new helmets for motorcyclists.
“On behalf of the Ministry of Transport, I greatly appreciate the contribution made by Your Majesty and Your Majesty’s concern for the welfare of the people,” Loke added.
