History of Malaysian TV advertising permit number (up until July 2013)

This is the history of Malaysian TV advertising permit number, compiled by myself. I have done some edits about this matter in the Wikipedia article called "Television advertisement" under the Malaysia section some years ago.

The Malaysian TV advertising permit number appears during the first few seconds of any advertisement.  The abbreviation at the first part of the permit number which refers to the ministry which handles the TV advertising permit number always change sometime after the Malaysian government made a new portfolio of ministers and name changes to some ministries after the general election.

1995: KP/YYYY/NNNN (until 1999: KP/YY/NNNN)
2008: KPKK/NNNN/YYYY
2013: KKMM/NNNN/YYYY

Legend:
KP - Kementerian Penerangan
KPKK - Kementerian Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan
KKMM - Kementerian Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia
YYYY - year
NNNN - permit number

Another permit number which appears not just on TV but also on other media (such as newspapers and magazines) is KKLIU (Kementerian Kesihatan Lembaga Iklan Ubat). It is used for advertisements related to health and medicine.
