I believe alot of you may have seen some wierd number plates and some are only in alphabets. I just saw a white passenger van with the plate TMJ. Anyone got any ideas who rides in that? It was all fully tinted up except front windscreen. Saw it around newton area on the road.
Seen another black passenger van with the plate JS1.ANother fully tinted up van. Post some of the rare plates that you get to see on the road here in this thread.

This car belongs to one of the Diplomatic Corps countries being represented in Malaysia. Sadly, they couldn't hang their flag in Singapore. The distinction of a diplomatic plate in Malaysia is the red plate. Other formats for diplomatic vehicles are XX-XX-CC (Commissioner Corps) and XXXX UN (United Nations).

What's the difference between TP and ROV? Some TP got TP plate, some TP got ROV plate.
As for Tenku Mahkota Johor, it means.... the Tenku of Johor State.
Dunno if Mahkota = State. -
Yup, cannot fly flag because once they are in Singapore, their diplomatic status is void.Originally posted by ^tamago^:This car belongs to one of the Diplomatic Corps countries being represented in Malaysia.

unless they are based in Malaysia but they are also responsible for Singapore. -

why ROV is not listed while TP is, is because TP plate got suffix, ROV plate no suffix. -
SB 19 L it is.... cos S 819 E.Originally posted by TwinTurbo_Supra:is that a B or 8? -
What is technical employment then??Originally posted by ^tamago^:taiwan shld be S/66xx/CC. TE is really technical employment. the lady i spoke to is not taiwanese!

Simi ROV TP suffix no suffix?
I was asking what's the different between TP who use a ROV plated bike and a TP who uses a TP plated bike? -
cos u quote the list with no suffix, thought u asking why ROV not inside....Originally posted by Ponders:What is technical employment then??

technical employment... i also dunno... there are no info on this, cos apparently the lady is the wife of the real status holder... but they're from overseas...
the last question we see got anyone can answer.. haha.. -
HAHA, if your list contains no suffix type plates... then S/CD S/CC are suffixes.Originally posted by ^tamago^:cos u quote the list with no suffix, thought u asking why ROV not inside....

Anyway, ya, wait for ppl to answer the TP/ROV plate difference.
TE... all along i thought its Taiwan since they do not have official diplomatic relation hence CD/CC plates not entitled to them. Since the "embassy" in singapore is actually Taipei Trade & Cultural Office.
Anyway, since you say it's S/66xx/CC.... hmm so be it then.
So what is TE? hmmm......i am thinking if they belong to Embassies/Consulates where there are no Consul or Ambassador representing the country locally.
Just like some Singapore Ambassador still stay in singapore even though they Ambassador accredited to a country. -
no lah. maybe more politically correct is no checksum.Originally posted by Ponders:HAHA, if your list contains no suffix type plates... then S/CD S/CC are suffixes.
i have a feeling that there IS such a list of countries' diplomatic vehicle code lurking around somewhere. need to go somewhere to dig only.
cos to spot them manually is not easy since u cannot guess from the driver or pax face, nor does the road tax sticker say anything. flag is not always displayed, and those that are displayed, security are always around to make sure no one goes near (plant a bomb?) the car. wait at the embassy? that is not very efficient either. haha. -
there is also a TBJ.Originally posted by yoongf:I believe TMJ stands for Tenku Mahkota Johor.

Don't waste effort... i try to dig liao.... no avail. only choice is wait around embassies.Originally posted by ^tamago^:no lah. maybe more politically correct is no checksum.

Ok... at united Square... got S/36xx/CD.
The problem... United Square got embassies of 5 countries!!!
I still have this feeling that e.g. S/1101/CD and S/1161/CD are from different countries.
Because some of the S/xx6x/CD i see are S-class or 7 series.
if you are the 61th in rank, in the embassy i don't think you are entitled S class or 7 Series. haha.
oh... a Trivia but i think you all know.....
1) S/xxxx/CD and S/xxxx/CC are exempt from any LTA or local laws. These vehicles are property of that countries' government.
2) CC/CD plates can be ticketed, but cannot be forced to pay the ticket.
3) CC/CD plates buy petrol at non-taxable price. What we pay now is 141%, they pay at 100%. -
Police looking bike with TP plate = real traffic police. Catch speedsters, no seat belts, etc.
Police looking bike with ROV plate = TP personnel assigned to LTA to catch licensing offence like goods veh overloading, Weekend car no valid coupon, illiegal modification.
Police looking bike with FA plate = Cisco police that do heavy/wide veh outrider escort. -
