Series Overview

CC plates identify vehicles of the Consular Corps, the consulates that countries keep in Malaysian cities. They follow the same pattern as diplomatic plates, ##-##-CC, with the country code first, for example 49 for China. A photograph of consular plate 29-80-CC shows white characters on red, like embassy plates, while Wikipedia describes consular plates as white on black.
