KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Malaysia’s government, hoping to thwart car
thieves, will embed license plates with microchips containing
information about the vehicle and its owner, a news report said
Saturday.
With the chips in use, officials can scan cars at roadblocks and identify stolen vehicles, the New Straits Times reported.
The “e-plate” chip system is the latest strategy to prevent car
thieves from getting away with their crimes by merely changing the
plates, the report said.
