Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar is now the proud owner of the country’s most expensive number plate to date.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke revealed that Sultan Ibrahim had paid RM1.2 million to the government to acquire “FF 1” from the Road Transport Department’s (RTD) special “FF” series.
In a Facebook post today, Loke (above, right) said he was granted an audience with the southern state ruler to hand over the unique number plate.
“For the record, the payment of RM1.2 million is the highest value ever collected by the government for the registration of a vehicle number plate!
“This payment brings the total government revenue from the FF series number plates to RM35.4 million,” he said.
The series was launched on May 14 to mark RTD’s 77th anniversary.
On May 22, Loke announced that the series had netted a record-high collection of RM34.29 million, with the “FF 8” plate topping the chart at RM950,000 at that time.
Sultan Ibrahim, who owns a lavish car collection, is no stranger to winning bids and paying a hefty amount for highly sought-after number plates.
In 2016, His Majesty bought the “F 1” registration number after making a winning bid of RM836,660 for it. A month later, he splurged another RM989,780 for the “V 1” plate.
Sultan Ibrahim had previously also won the bids for the “W1N” and “WWW1” number plates for RM748,000 and RM520,000 respectively. - Mkini
