Transport Minister Anthony Loke ordered for a special task force to investigate possible mismanagement over the registration of classic number plates.
This comes after whistleblower “Edisi Siasat” alleged that classic number plates were being revived and sold for thousands of ringgit.
Classic number plates are favoured by collectors for being released many decades ago and are mostly made up of only one letter or a few numbers, such as A2, D24, and P88.
Loke said he highlighted the matter at yesterday’s post-cabinet meeting.
“I ordered the establishment of a special task force at the Transport Ministry which will also be composed of the ministry's integrity unit.
“The special task force has been mandated to investigate the allegations and also recommend improvements to strengthen the transparency of the classic number plate registration process,” he said in a statement.
“Edisi Siasat” claimed that Road Transport Department (RTD) officers were behind the “syndicate” of reviving the number plates and that the minister was also involved.
A document titled “JPJandora Papers” published by “Edisi Siasat” contains a list of names and IC numbers registered to the number plates allegedly being sold.
Separately, Loke said he also instructed the RTD to improve its e-bidding system which faces constraints during peak hours.
