While "H 1" commanded the highest price, it was not the number that attracted the most competition.
'H 1001' and 'H 100' each attracted 37 bidders, the highest number of participants for an individual registration number.
They were followed by 'H 1805' with 36 bidders, while 'H 1777', and 'H 4818' each attracted 32 bidders.
The Transport Ministry said the response reflected strong interest in special vehicle registration numbers and highlighted JPJeBid as making the bidding process easier, faster, more efficient, and transparent.
The ministry also said the revenue generated would be channelled back to the public through various Transport Ministry and JPJ programmes, including road safety initiatives.
The "H" series was introduced as a special registration number series in conjunction with the 2026 Malaysia Day celebrations.
