Biddings for the hotly sought after FF number plate series, which ran from 14-May to 19-May 2023, has ended with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) netting RM 34,296,327 in revenue.
Total bids received for FF plates have bested all previous number plates series, recording the highest total bids since JPJ introduced the online eBid system on 15-April 2019.

If you are looking for an answer on why there is a frenzy to spend silly money on FF series plates, unfortunately there is no logical reason behind it, other than money is just a number.
FF doesn’t mean anything, and it’s unrelated to Fast X movie.
Others say FF plates are the last double-alphabet, mirror image number plate series.
