Series Overview
G1M, short for Gagasan 1Malaysia, was the first of the organisation-run special series of the 2010s. It was launched in May 2010 by Kelab Eksplorasi 7 Benua Malaysia (KE7B), the Seven Continents Exploration Club, to fund its expeditions, including climbs of Mount Everest and a Greenland trek, with part of the money also going to charitable foundations.
Sales were slow. By December 2013 about 2,000 of the 9,999 numbers were still unsold, and the minimum price had been cut from RM1,000 to RM350. From 1 June 2014 the remaining numbers were sold from RM210 at selected JPJ counters.
The series is best known for a customs case. In 2014 the Royal Malaysian Customs Department seized 107 luxury cars, including Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and Porsches worth about RM100 million, that carried G1M plates. The cars were allegedly registered in duty-free Langkawi and then taken to the peninsula without paying import duty. KE7B president Muhamad Muqharabbin Mokhtaruddin stressed that a G1M number gives no tax exemption. By then, the 1M4U series launched in 2013 was already barred from registration in Langkawi and Labuan.
