Who said that? CSL did.
This is what happend (I guess), the minister think he actually entitle for one (every minister are eligible for one number according to him), so he didn't prepare to pay for it, just apply for it, but someone from his office make a mistake to place a bid for it without his knowledge, that's why when questioned by reporters, he can't answer who is going to pay for it. Like I said, this is just technical problem, eventually MoH won't need to pay JPJ and JPJ won't complain about it. The minister ONLY need to answer back to PM and I am pretty sure the PM will accept his explaination and close the case.
As for the Treasure Dept, they are just telling the truth, which is no money allocated for minister to bid number plate, simply because minister don't need that. Minister are eligible for one, no need to bid and pay for it.

Leaving politics aside, the fact is IF it is indeed free, there is still the question of opportunity cost to the tax payers, wouldnt that be correct?
All he has to do is just tell the bloody truth:
"I am the Minister of Health, my old car is to be replaced and since I have the privilege to choose a number, I chose WWW15 and I believe it is a practice that the government will undertake the cost"
"I believe there were some tear gas canisters fired that could have landed in the Tung Shin Hospital compound, this is really unfortunate, and we will definitely take this issue up with the enforcers and ensure that it will not be repeated"
He should learn from the man sitting next to him how to kill a controversy fast in the media by just telling the inevitable truth! YES IT WAS ME IN THE VIDEO! My only mistake was I used the same hotel room all the time - of course this second part of the statement also shows the stupidity that exist in our ministers....
His only misteak was he was unsure which hands were used to pay the hotel room and other expenses while which eyes were watching the moves![]()

Do you know that Johor Sultan don't even need a number plate for his cars? Many of his cars didn't even put on a number plate, just a general signboard with "TMJ" (refer to collection of TMJ hot cars ). So, even if he wish to have one like the WWW1, he can also ask for it for FREE, I am sure JPJ love to offer this as a gift. The only reason I can think of he opt to pay for it is because he wanted to contribute like others.
now he says RTD gave for free. Another senior member of Master Clowns Association.![]()
Let's be fair to Liow, he seems to be a victim of circumstances.
As u can see in the interview, he has no answer, where the process and procedure was not handle personnally by him. He just get his officers to handle them as like normal. Just that he has picked a number when asked what number he wants. Not speaking for him, but his interview shows he is not telling a lie, just dun know how these things work - within the RTD and Ministry.
CSL coming in to comment that it goes from 'left hand to right hand' really speaks of lack of transparency. So, the issue is really about lack of transparency within garmen depts. And this is really the crux of the matter.
An article in Malaysian Insider says RTD given the number for free.
Article: here
What I'm surprised is that I din hear journalists asking him, "Did u bid the number for that amount, or u just took it for granted the number will be given to u without putting a bid?" Looks like that attention will now be focused on RTD/JPJ..?
War does not determine who is right, it determines who is left.
Do u have any contribution to make on the SJ/USJ Traffic Problems?
