I am sure it occurred to many when they came across registration letters like BN, DAP, PAS and so on, that those could have been chosen by their respective party faithfuls. But to actually consider booking the whole 9,999 numbers for a political party's initials, in this case MCA, shows the frivolity of the person who suggested it, and suggests the arrogance and presumptuousness of a party used to using power of positions for their own ends. In this case, an MCA leader happens to be holding the Transport Ministry portfolio.
PPP would have a long wait before it gets to those registration letters in Penang while Umno could easily have a special one like those for Proton, Bambee and so on.
Incidentally, I have just read about the reason why registration letter 'A' went to Perak (because of it being the richest then and had the first vehicle), and 'B' went to Selangor, and 'C' to Pahang! But I still cannot get over Kelantan having 'D' over so many other richer states.
Its like P44 for Permatang Pauh!
