A local bidder forked out more than RM150,000 for a vehicle registration number

Malaysian Mirror/The Star A local bidder forked out more than RM150,000 for the registration number TAX 1 last November, reports The Star.

However, it is not known whether the bidder was a taximan or a major taxpayer.

The paper, quoting Terengganu Road Transport Department director Abdul Rahman Emang Anyie, said on Tuesday the bidder was a businessman but declined to divulge any details about him.

JB businessman paid record sum

Tender documents for the 'TAX 1 to TAX 999' registration number ended on Nov 3, and the department received an overwhelming response for all the 1,000 numbers that were tendered.

However, the registration number TAN 1 still holds the record for the highest bid after a businessman from Johor Baru paid RM200,000 to own the number.

I can appreciate that...
