The Rich 'TANs'
Read in The Star today that a businessman with the surname TAN has offered RM80,000 for the yet-to-be issued vehicle registration number TAN 1 and many offers are also pouring in for these numbers TAN 1 to TAN 9 from the state of Terengganu.
I guess the offers come from rich towkays with surname same as mine. To these towkays, maybe the special numbers give special meanings and identity. If I am this filthy rich to be able to afford it, perhaps I'll interpret it like this:-
TAN 1 - the numero uno
TAN 2 - a pair
TAN 3 - properity
TAN 4 - aikksss...'wait to die' ah? i dowan ler
TAN 5 - maybe for anak towkay no. 5
TAN 6 - aikssss.. sounds like 'wait to eat'
TAN 7 - hmmmm....'tang chat'?????
TAN 8 - 'fatt, fatt......' very good!
TAN 9 - means longevity .....very good!
This sets me thinking. So when the Penang registration plate gets to 'PUK 1", how much do you think it will command?
Anyways, I no money. I don't bother too much about my car registration number as long as it does not read '967', I'm okay already.

Maybe someone can confirm this for me - I think "tan" if pronounced in Mandarin means "egg". LOL
A penangnite's name starting with alphabet "e" might end up with a plate PUKe. LOL

Why pick number plate also so ma fan one? tsk tsk tsk.. people really got a lot of $ to waste... I sound like those sour grapes :P
Hahahaha! I didn't know you're so well-versed in cantonese... 967 summore ahaha!
too bad there isn't a state with vehicle plates starting with S
LM, I think Sabah plates start with "S". Sarawak's starts with Q...and Sibu is QS. I think at one time, the plate in one town was QCB (Qui ch...b...)...and sale of cars was particularly slow and many people got plates from other towns in the state.

'TAN' - intonation different for Mandarin 'egg'.

Thani means what in Tamil?
jazzmint,
those people really got loads of money to spend on their nombor plates. it might actually attract the wrong kind of attention. you know what i mean? ;)
erika,
the chinese very pantang the nombor 4 - sounds like 'mati' (in dialects)
