Would you spend almost half a million for a car number plate?

While it might sound absurd, the man in the picture did exactly just that. It's quite uncommon to see people go out of their way to sport a fancy car number plate especially if it costs a fortune, but you'd be surprised to know that quite a few Malaysians have paid an absurd amount of money just for these numbers.

Back in 2018, Johor-based firm Aldi International Sdn Bhd had purchased the "MALAYSIA 1" car number plate for a whopping RM 1,111,111!

This immediately beaten the record previously held by the number plate "V1" which was reportedly purchased for RM989,000 by Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.

Does the "fanciness" of a car number plate hold any importance? Let us know your thoughts.
