Series Overview
BAMbee was issued during the 2000 Thomas and Uber Cup finals in Kuala Lumpur. BAM stands for the Badminton Association of Malaysia, and the bee came from the tournament's mascot, which also appeared on Malaysia's commemorative stamps for the event. The mixed-case spelling is unique among Malaysian plates, and JPJ's specification for special registration numbers sets it in DF Li Yuan Bold, a rounded typeface.
The series was made available only to BAM members. The Chinese-language list of special plates, citing federal gazette order P.U.(A) 297/2000, records 500 numbers, BAMbee 1 to BAMbee 500.
