KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 — The government will accord priority to royalty
and dignitaries in their request for free vehicle registration number.
Transport Deputy Minister Jelaing Mersat said the tender process for
vehicle registration numbers was open to all parties, including
corporations and organisations, but there were conditions attached.
“However, there are seven categories of notables that qualify for a free registration number.
“These are the Sultans, includng the Raja of Perlis and the Yang
DiPertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan, Heads of States (Yang DiPertua Negeri),
Raja Muda/Tengku Mahkota, prime minister, deputy prime minister,
Federal Territories minister, mentri besar and chief ministers,” he said
replying to Senator Lee Cheam Choon.
Lee had requested an explanation of the vehicle registration tender
system, and the parties eligible, or who did not have to go through
tender to obtain a specific number.
Jelaing said there were a number of procedures and conditions under the
Road Transport Department (RTD) Order (Bill 8 Year 2009/L) that needed
to be adhered to.
“The bidder must submit the tender form, together with a 50 per cent
deposit payment of the reserved bid and the original receipt of the RM10
service fee payment.
“A letter on the decision will be issued not later than seven working
days from the date of the evaluation committee meeting, and the notice
of decision must be displayed at the relevant state RTD office,” he
said. — Bernama
