  Was driving along the road when I saw a dark blue Mercedes-Benz E200 Kompressor (W210) today, with the number plate (white lettering) " 28-102-DC ". Definately not a 'local' car. Has anyone seen the same car before? Which country does it belong to? Gosh I didn't get to see whether it was left or right-hand drive as I was making a turn to my right.

  Hmm.. As far as I know, Singapore based diplomat cars' number plates are SxxxxCC or SxxxxCD. No dash (-) in between the numbers & letters. Have never came across a number plate something similar I saw on the blue Benz. I've seen Thailand number plates on pickups and lorries and they always have some kind of Thai language on it. But I've never seen that kind of number plate on (Thailand?) cars though. Maybe the number plate on Thailand cars are different from pickups and lorries and like someone said, the car could well be from Thailand?

  Well, I'm certain that it's a diplomatic plate.I heard once that the DC plates are reserved for consul-generals.Different from normal diplomatic cars.

  DC on the number plate stands for Diplomatic Corps.
  
  The number plate in question was issued in Malaysia
