‘F’ is the prefix of choice for Putrajaya.
All newly-registered vehicles in Putrajaya will bear the prefix ‘F’ on their number plates soon, replacing the current ‘Putrajaya’.
According to the New Straits Times, the Road Transport Department would open the tender for new numbers next month.
“Putrajaya will get its own prefix for vehicle registration numbers. (As per normal procedure), the tender is open to any vehicle owner,” Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi was quoted as saying.
“Previously, it was found that the number of registrations for Putrajaya numbers were low as motorists had deemed the number plate prefix as being too long,” he was quoted further.
Aziz feels that motorists in Putrajaya would rather have Selangor registration plates because the prefix ‘Putrajaya’ was too long.
“It is the norm for vehicle owners to be more interested in short and small numbers on their vehicle registration plates. As such, the department has proposed for the new prefix to generate excitement, and it will also be easier to read.”
Well, then. Let the Fun begin!
