I have always been amazed at the multitude of letters on the number plates of Malaysian vehicles. Never knew why or how to identify where the vehicles are from. If you ever had the same problem, this post is for you.
Malaysian license plates have one or more letters followed by 4 numerical digits. The general colour scheme of the plates are white lettering on a black background. I said general because this does not apply to all groups of people for example the diplomats.
These license plates are issued by the Malaysian Road Transport Department however vehicles are registered by state and each bear the state’s unique identifying letters, thus the multitude of letter combinations.
I have the letters listed below for your reference:
Kuala Lumpur W
Selangor B
Perak A
Penang P
Kedah K
Perlis R
Kelantan D
Trenggannu T
Pahang C
Johor J
Melaka M
Negeri Sembilan N
Sarawak Q
Sabah S
Other special groups:
Diplomat DC
Military Z
I hope this allows you to figure out where the %^&((*& guy, who just overtook you at 160km/h, is from!

And do you have any idea why
Perak is A
Selangor is B
Pahang is C
Kelantan is D
and the rest are only using their states' names first alphabets ?
Like
K for Kedah
P for Penang
T for Terengganu
M for Melaka
J for Johor
N for Negeri Sembilan
W for Wilayah Persekutuan KL
S for Sabah
L for Labuan
Of course except for Perlis which couldnt be P cuz Penang got it first or Sarawak which couldnt be S because Sabah got it, but this is not the same case as those four " special " states !
It's a trivia but surely you would be quite surprise if you could figure that out ~ !
Now I am stumped. Cannot find the information anywhere on the net. Will probably need you to enlighten...
