#FFFFFFBackground#000000 - About this plate
- CONSULAR CORPS: white on black, marked CC. THE ALLOCATION IS GEOGRAPHIC, which makes it a genuine decode dimension rather than a rank code, the leading digit of a Malaysian CC number tells you the consular district (1 Kuala Lumpur, 2 Penang, 3 Kota Bharu, 4 Kota Kinabalu, 5 Kuching), and the magnitude tells you whether the car belongs to the head of mission, an office head, or the mission itself. One sentence on the same page is worth recording for what it rules OUT: "Honorary Consuls are only issued with ID cards", there is no Malaysian honorary-consul plate.
