Why ask? Add it in! And I must thank everybody who played a part in improving the article. As you can see, my father, not me, drives a Malaysian car so I have some ideas. As a teen, my knowledge is inferior to those of Malaysian adults. Mr Tan 14:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plates applies to cars only?

The title is misleading. Motocycles use the same number platings too. Wouldn't it be better suited if we rename it to Malaysian vehicle number plates? -- Two hundred percent 16:22, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

agreed. __earth ^(Talk) 17:50, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I'll move it if there's no objection soon. __earth ^(Talk) 04:32, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Using tables to illustrate number plates

I have to admit, that was pretty resourceful work. Nice one. But at least one photo is still needed. - Two hundred percent 06:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] e-plate

Anyone knows of e-plate to be launched by the government? I read in newspaper last January/February that all new cars for year 2007 are required to use the new e-plate and gradually over a certain period of time all cars in Malaysia will be required to use it.

It's claimed that the e-plate will capitalize RFID technology with reading distance of 100 metres (i doubt bout this claim).

Further, 200 cameras will be installed along major highways (just like in Singapore) to complement the e-plate.

If i'm not mistaken, e-plate will bu use as speed detection, vehicle theft detection and traffic violation.

Can anyone confirm this? It would be interesting if we can add the material in this site. Thank you. --Suryasuharman 01:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Mind providing some sources? I like to know if it's officially reported on local media sources. - Two hundred percent 10:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] plate number formats

The recent edited page to the section goes as followed:

"In Sabah this serial letter follows the serial number ("SA 1234 A", followed by "SAA 1234 A" in 2000 after the complete use of postfix letter "X" in the year 1999), and in Sarawak it follows the regional code ("QKA 1234")."

Does that mean the rest of the districts in sabah will also apply the same one as KK in the future? Like sandakan that would be "SDA 1234 A" or Kudat would be "SKA 1234 A"? I haven't heard any news from the state government that it will be follow this way? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xmlv (talk • contribs) 14:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

Sandakan, and others the letter sequence progress quite slow. but probably ur right. so once sandakan reaches SS 9999 X, they might continue with SSA 1 A. But i think there is also some kind of agreement with the S'pore govt to avoid using certain letters to avoid conflicts. see Singapore licence plates. kawaputra^tok2me 05:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
