Private vehicle numbers started in the mid 1900s when Singapore was one of the four Straits Settlements, with a solitary prefix S for signifying Singapore, then, at that point, adding a suffix letter S ‘B’ to S ‘Y’ for vehicles, however avoiding a couple of like S ‘A’ (held for bikes), S ‘H’ and S ‘Z’ (saved for taxicabs and transports), S ‘D’ (saved for municipal vehicles), and S ‘G’ for small and large vehicles. There was no checksum letter, for instance, S. At the point when the checksum letter was executed, these plate numbers were given checksum letters too, for instance SG5999 became SG5999Z.
