A special “G” plate series (G 1 – G 9999) launched in 2017 under the Lee Chong Wei Foundation. The letter ‘G’ was chosen to evoke “gold” (as in Olympic gold medal) and to fund sports development. All 9,999 numbers were tendered; G 1 was the prized plate, reportedly fetching RM500k. Proceeds supported young athletes. The foundation’s namesake, badminton legend Lee Chong Wei, helped promote the series. Public response was strong, with total bids raising about RM7 million. After the auction, G plates could be registered like normal. This series – effectively a charity plate – garnered attention as one of the most lucrative, and G 1 set a record price at the time. G plates are now rare and prestigious; many adorn luxury cars, symbolizing both wealth (“gold”) and support for national sports.
