A vanity series released in Sarawak in 2024 featuring the “QQ” prefix. In Sarawak’s plate system, Q is ubiquitous (denoting the state), so “QQ” was both a novelty and inherently local. The series was anticipated after the success of the single “Q” run. When bidding opened (early 2024), response was overwhelming, particularly because many believed “QQ” could stand for “Queen’s Quality” or other auspicious phrases. Beyond that, plates like QQ 8 or QQ 88 were highly valued due to the symmetry and the Chinese lucky number 8. Indeed, JPJ reported the “QQ” series sold out via auction, raising substantial funds (exact figures kept internal, but rumored in the high seven figures overall). The Sarawak government indicated the vanity plate initiative’s proceeds would support road maintenance and local charities. With QQ, one interesting phenomenon was plate enthusiasts from Peninsular Malaysia joining the fray – since after purchase, a QQ plate can be used on a vehicle anywhere in Malaysia (it’s not restricted to Sarawak registration because it’s a special series). This cross-region interest further drove up bids. The double-Q also has a tech appeal (QQ is a famous Chinese messaging app), so a few tech companies discreetly bought certain numbers. Now, QQ plates are seen as one of the more successful regional vanity series. They’re exclusively from that single 2024 batch of 9999 numbers. As supply dwindles, their resale value has been climbing, especially for visually repeating numbers (like QQ 77 or QQ 2222). The series underscored Sarawak’s enthusiasm for participating in the special plate trend and added another desirable prefix for collectors nationwide.
