Dangerously close to Singapore license plate format with that font, haha

That's likely what they were going for.

Not sure why though. I don't own a car in Singapore but some of my friends who do say they find it risky driving their cars to Malaysia cause thieves often like to target Singaporean cars (especially rare and expensive ones, few months ago someone stole and drove a Singaporean Honda Civic Type R and nicked the wheels and some other stuff off the car, because apparently those are worth a lot more in Malaysia due to the lack of supply).

I heard about that a while back; I presume they're also more desirable to steal because cars there are a lot more expensive on account of COE (and therefore more valuable).
I'm vaguely remembering here, so I might be wrong on that one.

Might be the case if they were stolen in Malaysia and then brought back to Singapore, but Malaysia doesn't have a COE system as far as I know. With the Civic Type R, apparently the reason was because there is a much longer waiting list for one in Malaysia because demand is so high, to the point where the car was worth more than the asking price, so I guess someone saw an opportunity with that particular one. Here's the story about it if you're interested: https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/gone-without-trace-singaporeans-220k-honda-civic-type-r-goes-missing-genting
