New Vehicle Registration Number

Friends,
In the news today: the relevant authority has announced that the new vehicle rgistration number will begin with W1A.
Whoa, a new numbering system!
The current registration number is expected to end at "WYY 9999", by end of June of this year.
The vehicle number plate in Malaysia begins with W1. My car registration number is WSV ***5. And I bought it in August 2009. It is now WYH in May 2013. The change is absolutely rapid!
Oh, car registration number is Malaysia is sorted according to the state at where it is registered. The fastest selling registration number is the Kuala Lumpur area which begins with "W". It is sold like a hot cake. You can see that the letter of the registration number changes "like a girl changing her clothes" on the road.
The slowest change of registration number is "R", whose letter was assigned to represent the small State of Perlis.
The following is the meaning of the representation of the alphabet letter in the vehicle registration number that is used to repsent each states:-
*A - Perak
*B - Selangor
*C - Pahang
*D - Kelantan
*H - reserved only for taxis
*J - Johor
*K - Kedah
*L - Labuan (in the state of Sabah)
*M - Malacca
*N - Negri Sembilan
*Q - Sarawak
*R - Perlis
*S - Sabah
*T - Terengganu
*W - Kuala Lumpur
*Z - reserved for military vehicle
*KV - Langkawi (a small Island which belongs to the State of Kedah)

Anyway, that said; I wonder who will bid for W1A, and at what price will the vehicle registration number be sold?
Let's wait and see.
