Series Overview

PERODUA is the manufacturer series of Malaysia's second national carmaker. Perodua's first model, the Kancil, was unveiled on 29 August 1994, and Wikipedia describes PERODUA plates as issued for certain Perodua cars. The Chinese-language list of special plates dates the series to 1994 and records the lettering in slanted Futura Extra Bold rather than the standard plate typeface, matching JPJ's specification for special registration numbers.

The size of the allocation and how the numbers were distributed were never published.
