Bakr gets one digit number plate

JAMAAT AL Muslimeen leader Yasin Abu Bakr has secured a single digit number for his brand new, Nissan Maxima. The car was licensed last Friday and was given the number PBT 4. The number of the official vehicle of the Minister of National Security is PAO 4.

Sources at Licensing Authority told Newsday single digit numbers are reserved for Ministers, Members of Parliament and persons associated with them. The sources also stated that if someone wished, they could approach the Transport Commissioner directly for such a number but all such requests must be approved by the Transport Commissioner. Newsday sought to get an explanation on how Bakr was able to get such a number but was told the Transport Commissioner was not at work yesterday.
