RM300,100 for Registration Number MCA 1| JPJ Car Tender Registration Number
Do you believe someone will fork out more than RM300,000 for a car plate number?
Yes…
A record is broken when the “MCA 1” registration number was bid with the highest bid of RM300,100, surpassing previous record holder “TAY 1”, which received a bid of RM242,000 last June.
The registration number “TAN 1” early this year received a bid of RM200,900, the third highest bid ever received.
Some even sarcastically said that no one would want the MCA plate, but now it has broken records and is the highest tender (series) made in the country so far.
This is because some people perceive MCA as:
MCA = Malaysia Conmen Association,
MCA =Malaysian Corrupted Association

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, say the overwhelming bids in the JPJ tender for the MCA series of car number plates prove that people are proud of the party and love it.

The Road Transport Department would notify successful bidders over the next two weeks, after which they would be given a month to settle the balance of payment. If the bidder fail to so then their deposit and the number plates they bidded for, will be forfeiture
In the past, , the number plate ‘MBU 1’ was bought for RM68,201 last year and ‘TAY 1’, issued by the Terengganu JPJ, was bought for RM220,000.
