A Road Transport Department (JPJ) officer revealed that Health Minister
Liow Tiong Lai can write an appeal letter to the Transport Minister or
JPJ Director-General to waive his bidding payment for the 'WWW15' car
plate number.
Though yesterday Liow revealed that he had received word from the Road
Transport Department (RTD) that he need not pay the RM24,200 bidding
price he had offered, as the number is "free", it is still not known whether or not Liow has written to the authority for the waiver.
According to a report in today's Sin Chew Daily, a Federal Territory JPJ public relations officer explained that once Liow (left) succeeds in his bid for the plate number he can write in to get his payment waived and was quoted as saying, "Only the Transport Minister and Director-General have the power to approve his request. Paying or not depends on whether the owner of WWW15 plate number has
written to request for waiver."The current Transport Minister is Kong Cho Ha, who is also the secretary-general of MCA, while Liow is its deputy president.
