Putrajaya's "F" registration prefix has proven to be one of, if not the most popular letters in the history of Malaysian registration numbers to date. Weeks before the result was out, much speculation was going around regarding the "Ferrari" of registration numbers. Rumours of actresses, maestros and tycoons were spreading like wildfire, punting the "F1" registration to cost upwards of Ringgit five million even. Yesterday, "unwanted" F plates were released to the open market from 8am onwards. By noon, not a single number below F1000 was available. It was all gone. Even unloved combinations like F444, F414, F467 were taken.

As the dust clears, the results are in. Although not as high as the rumours, the victor of F1 is none other than the current and undisputed King of Numbers, The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar. Spending a whopping RM836,660.00, the ruler emerged ahead of the pack setting a new record for registration numbers. The previous record held by "WWW1" was also won by his highness, with the amount of RM520,000.00.

In this round, the prefix "F" also raised significantly higher values throughout its 9999 numbers. Probably thinking the first 10 digits were out of reach by mere mortals, everyone went full throttle to secure the other numbers. Anyway, how often could you get the chance to purchase a new single prefix number in your lifetime, very rarely.
