PETRA special number plate series released – now open for bidding on JPJeBid, deadline 10pm Oct 3

There’s a new special plate series in town, and it’s PETRA. That’s the acronym for the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation and it was announced at the Program Madani Rakyat 2024 Sarawakku Sayang event in Miri over the weekend.

Bidding on JPJ eBid started on September 28 and will end at 10pm on October 2, which is this Wednesday. Results will be out the day after the auction closes.

No further details were released, so we went into JPJ’s DIY bidding system to check out the minimum bid amounts. It’s RM20,000 minimum for ‘Golden’ plates (RM1,000 increment), RM5,000 minimum for ‘Premium’ plates (RM250 increment), RM2,500 minimum for ‘Menarik’ plates (RM125 increment) and RM500 minimum for ‘Popular’ plates (RM25 increment). Running numbers start at RM300 – see the screenshots below.
