20-6-2023 (KUALA LUMPUR) Social media has been abuzz with the news of Malaysian artist Fatin Afeefa and her husband Aliff Awang flaunting their wealth while sitting in a supercar McLaren with a “QPA1” license plate. However, the display of their wealth and rude behavior has sparked outrage among netizens, leading to an investigation that revealed that the license plate on the supercar was fake.
According to local newspaper Kosmo, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has confirmed that the supercar was using a fake license plate, and the registered owner of the plate was not the same as the car owner. Therefore, the JPJ has urged the car owner to come forward and cooperate with the investigation. The JPJ also stated that under Section 108(3)(F) of the Road Transport Act 1987, displaying a license plate that does not belong to the relevant vehicle is an offense.
Aliff Awang had uploaded photos of himself and his wife sitting in the McLaren supercar on social media, boasting about his wealth and belittling other cars that he deemed unworthy of being called “supercars.” This arrogant behavior has led to a backlash from netizens.
In response to the allegations, Aliff Awang took to Instagram and denied using the “QPA1” license plate while driving the supercar. He claimed that the license plate was merely used for their wedding ceremony as a decoration and had nothing to do with the car’s registration. He further stated that he had not received any summons or notices from the JPJ regarding the license plate.
Aliff Awang also claimed that the incident had been blown out of proportion by people who wanted to use his name for publicity. He urged everyone to move on from the incident, stating that the Malaysian public had grown tired of his story and that there was no need to sensationalize it.
In conclusion, the use of a fake license plate on a supercar by a Malaysian artist and her husband has raised concerns about the flaunting of wealth and arrogant behavior on social media. The investigation by the JPJ has confirmed the use of a fake license plate, and the car owner has been urged to cooperate with the authorities. The incident serves as a reminder that displaying a license plate that does not belong to the relevant vehicle is an offense under Malaysian law.
