Sultan Pahang bid CCC1 for RM76,000

KUANTAN: The car registration number CCC 1 fetched RM76,600 in a bid submitted by Sultan Ahmad Shah.

This is the highest amount paid for a car number plate in the state.

The Pahang sultan also secured the "CCC 2" plate for RM37,000 in an open tender for the CCC series of registration numbers that was opened for 45 days until Oct 25.

The list of successful bidders were displayed at the State Road Transport Department office here yesterday.

Second highest bidders are State Youth and Sports Committee chairman Datuk Dr Ahmad Shukri and State Entrepreneur Development Committee chairman Datuk Shahiruddin Ab Moin who put up RM62,400 each for the CCC 3 and CCC 8 numbers.

Also in the list is Teruntum State Assemblyman Datuk Ti Lian Ker who won the bid for CCC 5 with an offer of RM32,000.

The CCC 1 price is, however, lower than the RM150,000 tendered for the JJJ 1 number in Johor Baru last year.

Other numbers that fetched high prices are CCC 9 (RM48,000); CCC 6 (RM42,000); CCC 888 (RM40,600); CCC 7 (RM32,000); CCC 88 (RM28,800); CCC 333 (RM27,000); CCC 11 (RM21,400) and CCC 4 (RM21,200).

State RTD assistant director Abdul Hakim Abdul Rauf said the department received 2,000 bids for the CCC plate numbers.
