PETALING JAYA - The frenzied bidding for the special “FF” number plate series has cast a spotlight on entrepreneur Ivon Wong.
Her eye-watering bid of RM909,999 for the coveted FF9 plate caught the attention of curious netizens.Ms Wong, 35, however, explained that she did not end up getting the number plate as she was outbid by RM2,000 after someone else pitched in RM911,999.The FF9 number plate, she said, was significant to her as a way to remember her beloved pet Fei Fei, which died three years ago.
“It represents cherished memories and the bond that I shared with my dog Fei Fei,” she said yesterday. Furthermore, she said she had two cars – a McLaren 720S and a Mercedes – with “9” on the number plate as well.“When I came home from work or when I was going through difficult times, Fei Fei was always there to greet me,” she said.She said she would continue to use her platform to raise awareness on mental health, something she felt strongly about.
“I came from a single parent home, a close-knit family that faced financial struggles. This early experience instilled in me the value of perseverance, hard work and resourcefulness.”
