  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department is set to introduce a new feature on its JPJeBid platform, allowing expired registration numbers to be offered back to the public. The initiative, which will cover numbers that were previously bid for or sold but not registered within the stipulated period, will return these numbers to the system after the validity expires. Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, the department's director-general, announced this during the launch of the H series Special Registration Number. The mechanism and standard operating procedures for this initiative are currently being finalized, with implementation expected within the next two to three months. The prices of these re-offered numbers will be determined by their respective categories, with popular numbers having a different price tag compared to attractive numbers. The introduction of this feature comes after special registration number series have generated millions of ringgit in government revenue in recent years.",
