 The Jesselton ("J") division prefix was dropped in favour of an "A" prefix representing the West Coast Division following Jesselton's renaming to Kota Kinabalu in 1967.Labuan, which was part of the Straits Settlements and had its own "L" series plates, fell under the jurisdiction of North Borneo and its vehicle plate reformatted after 1946 in line with the state's number plate formats ("EL ####" and "L #### S").Despite their obsolescence, delisted "ED ####" and "D #### S" numbers, including those using the "J" division prefix, may still be registered for new vehicles, as it does not conflict with current number plate formats in the rest of Malaysia or Singapore.
