Malaysian car number plates typically begin with one or more letters
followed by up to four numerical digits. (WPA 1234, BGX 1234, ...)
All vehicles' licence plates in
Malaysia, other than those issued to diplomats, have white
characters on a black background. The issue of licence plates is
regulated and administered by the Malaysian Road Transport
Department.
Vehicles
registered in a particular state will bear licence plates beginning
with that state's identifying character. Additionally, certain
divisions of government, such as the military, have their own
distinguishing characters.
