At this point, anyone can receive a fine if they break the rules, but, of course, if you know you're breaking the rules then you are just asking for it. 

Kakak Saga, a local TikToker and well-known car enthusiast who enjoys racing on the track, recently found herself in the spotlight. 

While driving on the highway in Alor Gajah, she was stopped by a police car due to her flashy license plate. Some speculated it was because she switched car brand logos from Proton to Myvi, but that wasn't the issue. 

For those unfamiliar, there are standardized font and style requirements for license plates, and failure to comply can result in fines ranging from RM300 to RM3000.

So, what was wrong with her license plate? 

Despite being visible and not using a small, fancy font like some other cars, according to the Road Transport Department (JPJ), every vehicle owner should adhere to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). 

1. White letters and numbers are affixed or embossed on a black frame.

2. White letters and numbers affixed or embossed on a red frame for embassy vehicles, UN, and International Natural Rubber Association.

3. Black letters and numbers are embossed on a white frame for taxis or rental cars.

This means that if you own a private vehicle, you should use a license plate following the format mentioned in point number 1.

Before you find yourself in a situation like Kakak Saga did, it's advisable to double-check whether your license plate follows the standardized guidelines provided by the JPJ.
