taboo?

melaka just issued the MBY motor vehicle registration plate.













i can imagine members & leaders of a certain political party queueing to register their new vehicles in a public display of loyalty when the next set of registration numbers are opened in a few months' time. come to think of it, they probably don't need to queue because the road transport dept which issues the numbers comes under the ministry of transport.

& guess who's the tai-kor in the ministry? i suppose one call to him will kau-tim everything.

i also wonder if the party president would bid for the #1 plate? he'll probably be the sole bidder because i doubt if anyone else would want that number, in case the vehicle be mistaken as belonging to someone who was made notorious through an illegally produced DVD & whose private life was dragged into public scrutiny.

talk about taboo number plates.

Zewt,

come to think of it, the president may not want it either, given the self-inflicted & disastrous turmoil the party is still undergoing.

For all you know, they may decide to skip those 3 letters and move directly to MCB... but it is certainly intriguing to see who ends up with #1 if it happens!

Adino,

it's not likely the RTD will skip that series because number plate bidding is a money-spinner!! you must have heard of people paying obscene amount of money for single digit number plates.

what does MBY stand for?
(sorry, threw my brain away along with my overdue assignments)

Anastasia,

MBY is just a series for vehicle registration mumbers in malacca, just like, for example, SFA in s'pore. since MBZ will not be issued, Z being reserved for military vehicles, the next series will start with MCA.
