Series Overview
UM is the special series of Universiti Malaya, the country's oldest university. It was launched on 8 March 2021, with a first round of 100 numbers in Gold, Silver and Bronze categories open for bidding until 12 March on the university's HEBAT portal, from a minimum of RM1,000.
The vice-chancellor described the plate as a way for owners to show themselves as part of the UM community and said bidders would be contributing to the university's development, research and student welfare funds. Bidding was open to anyone, not only alumni. UM came after earlier university series including UKM, UTM, UUM, UPM, IIUM, UMK and UTeM.
