To curb the vehicle theft that currently rampant, smart registration plate number or e-plate will be proposed by PDRM in the near future. Implementation of this method was able to overcome counterfeiting registration number on all types of vehicles.

Under the e-plate system proposed in 2006, each vehicle will receive the equivalent of the MyKad system containing information about the vehicle and its owner. The system was part of the Go­­vernment’s Automated Enforcement System, which will also include 700 new surveillance cameras nationwide.

E-plate system, which uses microchip technology or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), has been used in some developed countries such as France and Australia.

With the advent of e-plate, we can track criminals who use false registration numbers as well as to avoid the vehicle from being stolen - said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

Somehow we wait and see if this system will help police department to reduce crime. I personally believe, this kind of technology could be bypass by a lot of expertise of crime scene. You know, they will try to get what they want. However this system would be preventing stolen car cases.
