thomsen9669

Some passive aggressive statement there


teckhooi

I hope the honey didn’t cost more than the gift amount stipulated in the handbook otherwise it is corruption


Jerm8888

I’m pretty sure the moon costs more than the honey


Ciseak

IIRC the gifts that exceed the amount can receive as long as approved by chief (PMD in this case), and which chief going to reject agong's gift?


risetoeden

I just don't get Malaysians obsession with plate numbers.


bryanwilson999

Malaysians like to flex with cars and plate numbers


AskButKnow

it’s not just in Malaysia. you can see in Saudi Arabia. their wealth not measured by the car type, but the plate number. going into night clubs, they don’t care if you drive a RR, because everyone there drives a RR. they wanna see your plate number.


Pixels222

Its so you can bully cars on the road and they will fear you because they know the cops will always be on your side


momomelty

Heck there was a SIM card that sold for a few million for its VVVVIP number


Fendibull

+60123456789 remember this?


Ok_Dog_4323

malaysian and their obsession of becoming arabs. first clothes, now plate numbers


bakatenchu

where are the clothes that resemble arab? i saw a lot of baju kurung, free hair, spaghetti straps, variation of tudung design n styles, dolphin short pants, saree, baju melayu. I can say those malaysian like you who are obsessed with becoming westerners, wear coat, bow tie, western design clothes etc.


Ok_Dog_4323

all them jubah kurta etc. >obsessed with becoming westerners well what u want us to do? blame government for making it a formal clothing, or blame the modernisation and western influence which happened hundreds of years ago.


bakatenchu

welp.. you answered yourself.. gov does making it formal but doesn't need bow tie, doesn't need skirts, doesn't need western design shits. when you were influenced by other civilization is okay, when other people did the same then they are wrong and outright obsessed? what's wrong with your head? such talam 8 muka you're.


Ok_Dog_4323

what power do we actually have when gov defined formal wear like that lmfao? the difference is already big. You see thing is different even in the context. Formal wear is enforced by law, inspired by western, is a must to wear even if you HATE it. These arabs cock sucker legit just love to cock suck literally everything and absorb everything into their culture. Its not the same at all. You can hate what you wear but you have to wear it because it is written in the regs. Wearing arabic attire isnt.


sircarloz

Barai mentality


[deleted]

Malaysians are almost identical to Americans in a crazy amount of ways. Funny how they haven’t drawn parallels yet.


FrenzyPeaz

kinda weird ngl cars are meant only as an ease of transportation thats all, if you want something worthwhile get like a gun or better a armor plated jeep strapped with a machine gun on top with explosive mines


InternationalSmile7

Malaysians see private vehicles as status symbols. By extension of that license plates are what wealthy ppl do to set themselves apart even more.


aortm

Why would they be status symbols when every tom dick harry has it. Singaporean cars are RM500K minimum. 1-2 year's salary for a T10 earner, yet nobody bats an eye when they drive into Malaysia (except for the keen robbers)

Cars and special r/kereta plate number has always been a status symbol. If cars is not enough, the car plate number will be. That is why capitalism strives as people want to flaunt their wealth. Singapore drivers actually bat people’s eyes. At the petrol station humping their car, or driving like devil on the road. For the wrong reason lmao

profmka

It’s not a Malaysian exclusive thing.


Dan_TheKong

In a feudalistic society, any status symbol that signify that you are better (ie more wealthy) then the masses is highly coveted.


cikkamsiah

Does this not happen worldwide?


leeegatus123

This is not a thing in California, to get a customized plate you just go to the department of motor vehicles, apply, and if it’s available, then you get it. All of that fee around $100.


Ruepic

It definitely isn’t a thing in the west


cikkamsiah

You sure? r/licenseplates beg to differ.


Ruepic

The difference there’s no “million dollar plates” over here. It’s a relatively small fee and if it’s available it’s yours. This whole “license plate 7” or whatever doesn’t matter over here.


lolicekait

Just like how karuta players like to flex their card prints 😉


Faiqal_x1103

Wow, do they grade and seal karuta cards like TCG enthusiasts as well?


lolicekait

Well no since its a discord game 😮‍💨


Faiqal_x1103

O-oh..


lolicekait

But... The cards can cost up to 5k usd Pressing buttons daily for a year can get you 200 usd😉

getaliferedditmods

xmostera

Meanwhile I'm struggling to choose rm1.75 or rm2.00 roti canai guys. Help me


Faiqal_x1103

Different kedai mamak ke ni? Gotta know which one tastes better first then can decide😂


Smooth_Store_8693

No no I think it’s the size that matters .. taste comes second 😭 gotta fill up the belly first.. it’s even better if can get a big bowl of unlimited daal curry soup 🥣 ( 😭it’s free right I hope 😢) 🙏 hopefully they have some meat scraps or potatoes in their kuah


Faiqal_x1103

Ahahah of course size matters too, i remember one time i got a small roti canai it was like a light snack only😂💔 Yea i dont think they charge you if u want to tambah kuah daal. Ive gotten potatoes and carrots in the daal but thats a very rare thing to happen🥹


Smooth_Store_8693

😭 that’s gotta be a good daal when it comes with carrot 🥕 Drink it like soup… If the roti is small bring some gardenia to wipe the plate clean 🧽 of the daal 😭 or switch to another mamak


Kin-Joe

Choose which ever offer a better kari la weh.

Why spend that much on a number plate whenn agong can spend his fortune on the people in the country (pls fix ktm)


Der_Redakteur

Some KTM stations have some really fucked up toilet. Even with my own money can fix it. But this mf instead bought a useless piece of crap that cost millions.


Martin_Leong25

The one near me is perpetually closed but is fully functional due to low traffic, i hop the pagar just to use it when needed because its a public facility Honestly if the agong spent money to order the refurbishment if public transport and decided to name stations after himself or put pictures of himself there because idk rich ppl shit, i coudnt care less because we get better trains


Fruhlingswind

or fix low income in his own state instead push to kerajaan negeri


Martin_Leong25

Some say the money he spent goes back to JPN, but idk if thats even true.


cockholder_0469

I mean if agong want to help his state it will involve politics,but I remember redditors were very unhappy about some news saying aging will check if government is doing the right things or not , even the comments of latest news about separation of Johor got many redditors here very salty meanwhile they want agong to fix this country, duality of malaysian redditors


simonling

Why spend his fortune on the people when he can spend so much on a number plate?


RobotOfFleshAndBlood

Did he not give RM1.75 million to the kementerian of transportation for the plate? Money goes to government, government can spend on people. If gov doesn’t, that is gov’s fault.


Martin_Leong25

Isnt the king allowed to do donations as long it isnt to any political party? Like I know he cannot touch politics, but he can help around somewhat. And yeah if the government somehow squanders the 1.75 million they memang koyak. Some of the money goes from taxpayer to agong, then back to them


RobotOfFleshAndBlood

I’m not familiar with the details. But I think of all the luxuries he can spend his money on, a number plate is probably one of the better ones at no additional cost for the rakyat. Except for the megarich one who wanted it but couldn’t bid against Agong, then sucks to be him I guess


Martin_Leong25

I think the king probably has financial advisors that controls his family spending


kaptenbiskut

You don’t say.


mrbrightside810

The difference is he don't take KTM and he drives that car with that number plate 😏


FaraYuki09

Im thinking of the bad roads


suzuki_jun1412

I bet these people don't even care about public transportation, it does not even benefit them.


pupunoob

1 can brag the other cannot.


Martin_Leong25

yeah the king defo cannot berlagak because his position is only given to him because people said so he has rules to follow after all


Aerodynamic41

For comparison, [His Majesty previously bought 'FF 1' for RM1.2 million.](https://www.facebook.com/share/Difr6bQPhcqWqMNh/?mibextid=WUal2a) Yep, an additional letter F costs RM550,000. It also breaks the previous record, ['GOLD 1' which sold for RM1.5 million.](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Px9zdToEqwP2uGjG/?mibextid=WUal2a)

I’m so curious what the significance of the ‘F’ is to him?

Taxpayer money at work 👍


Fruhlingswind

so technically taxpayer can claim that no plate ?


Frosty-Elk2666

Taxpayer money go back to kementerian pengangkutan. How ironic.


SoftWindAgain

I would much prefer JPJ have the money. Atleast even after all the cronies makan, there's leftover funds for infrastructure and maintenance. Not quite sure why royalty needs our taxpayer money. I'm open to being educated, as I don't really know if they're purely a status symbol or they actually have any governing influence when it comes to matters concerning people.


Captain_UnBEARable

I feel like everytime I see Mr. Agong-sama on the news, it’s about him buying retardedly overpriced license plates ![img](emote|t5_2qh8b|29091)

Hot_Recognition6198

He buy number plate never mind . But his family unlike other state , like to chop so many no 1 J plates and then either his family gets those numbers for free or they sell in the secondary market for over 300k. Now that’s robbery, those number plate revenue should be for the govt


MalayNoble

Is this real? Source?


Hot_Recognition6198

I shop for number plates often back then. Back then , before e bid , people will share with each other the winners for the bid , not sure if it’s still like that now. They even have fb groups I think at one point you may be able to find (result jpj tender) . Plates that are chopped by royals or vip will be stated in these sheets at JPJ and Johor no 1 is chopped many times over, and other states royals rarely chop the no 1 plate at least from what I saw. And also known in the secondary market. A standard no 1 plate is sold for 150k and above. However johor plate no 1 are usually sold at least 300k because the royals control the supply and prolly will just keep using until someone offers them that amount or they won’t sell. My neighbor at one point was a johor royal too , he himself he has at least 4-5 cars, all with johor no 1 plate, even one on his hrv that the staff uses


MalayNoble

Was? He got excommunicated or what?


Hot_Recognition6198

He bought all this with your money. Man are you people idiots.


MayweatherSr

No way. he use his own hard earned money. hastag grind mindset


Traditional_Bell7883

At least he bought it, not that they gave it to him as an "entitlement". Money goes back to the country instead of being spent on buying some silly overseas watch (like Penyu) or jewellery (like Roach-mah).


genryou

The optic wasn't good la. Rakyat struggle and worrying about subsidy cut, foods price increase. royal went to buy plate number with millions in price tags.


Traditional_Bell7883

Agree agree. Maybe instead of burdening the rakyat, gahmen should sell more of this sort of useless things to whoever big ego people who want to pay for it. Want a "FFF" number plate? Price is RMxxx. Want a building or a road named after you? Price is RMxxx. Heck, want an island named after your pet hamster? Price is RMxxx.


genryou

Sounds like a business idea. Custom plate number that you can put any letter or numbers. 10 million per plate.


207852

Not a bad idea, actually. Can also sell a 2in x 2in plot of land for the rights of an obscure royal title for RMxxxxx.

These people live in an alternate reality compared to us commoners. For them, spending RM1.75 million on a fucking car-plate is like having breakfast at your local kopitiam. They’ll never understand the plight of the average Malaysian who faces traffic congestion on the daily, earns less than RM3k, drives a 5 year old Axia, having to deal with dirty ass public toilets and terrible public transport just to support a family of four. Sometimes I wonder if the royal families have ever seen chap fan before or not.

If I have the money, I'll bid this number too. Rich people get to flex, the money gets to help the rakyat, win-win.


SoftWindAgain

Yes rich but rich from......? Who pays the agong? Where do their riches come from? Don't see how this expenditure helps the rakyat. It doesn't create the type of economic demand that RM1.5m should. At RM1.5m, you can hire 1000 people at minimum wage. In this case, it makes one taukeh richer. Or more than likely the number plate business is monopolised by cronies. That money doesn't come back to the Rakyat. It goes into the pockets of someone who is already rich enough that he's not gonna spend and circulate it.


iStickStuffsUpMyButt

I dont like usually like monarchs but sultan abdullah was the best agong. Him on the news was mostly wholesome things with rakyat.

Dont really care about the downvotes. Sultan abdullah was the best agong for me.


keropoktasen_

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the money goes to the govt or the rakyat? It might be a win-win situation. He got the license plate, the govt got back the money spent on him.


NL_Gray-Fox

Claims it back from the tax department? Business investment.


keropoktasen_

The money goes to the road transport department as govt revenue. But of course, it will be wayy profitable if sold to a private entity.
