Calling all Penangites (and anyone willing to make the road trip)! If you’ve been eyeing a special number plate but didn't want to burn a hole in your wallet, you might want to head to Stadium Negeri Pulau Pinang this Sunday.
JPJ is throwing a literal "warehouse sale" for number plates, offering 50,000 leftover gems like '8080' and '4444' for as low as RM250.
Not every "nice" number gets taken during the eBid auctions. Usually, these leftovers just sit in the system, but for one day only, JPJ is putting 50,000 numbers up for grabs at massive discounts.
We’re talking about popular sequences like 8080, 444, 4444, 121, and 323.

'Popular' Numbers: Now only RM250 (usually much higher!)'Attractive' Numbers: Now only RM500Note: There is a small RM10 service fee included, but it’s a steal compared to standard auction prices.
