Stop being hypocrites. You're there to enjoy yourselves as we do. Now, allow me to educate you the different types of marshals: The orange suits > Post and recovery marshals at track corners. The Reds > Fire marshals posted standing by at the pit tunnels before and after start of race and on the grid at start of the race. The Yellows > Medical marshals standby at the pit tunnels too and along offtrack at times too. The Blues > Pit and grid marshals standby on the pit wall, by the pits and on the grid. Now, after saying that, you're taking potshots at those marshals other than the blues? They don't have duties going on during the pit walkabout session. They could come down to take the shots and souvenirs as they want as they're not restricted wholeheartedly due to the fact that they sometimes risk their lives to provide the appropriate services as with their duties and left to stand under the torturing weather. Tell me how photographers risk their life or money taking shots during pit walkabouts? The only risk i see you have mentioned is that your belonging was damaged. Where was your belonging when it got damaged? Did you take precaution and weigh the thoughts that you were going to attend to an area where there was going to be a big crowd with fast moving people and fast vehicles? You can take your complaints to the court of law and still get your case squashed for SIC bears no responsibility to the damage of your belongings while you attend such events. Obviously, it's your own risk and it's stated in the terms and conditions you have accepted just as you got the pass. As an occasional chief of the blues, we don't really like to 'herd' you as we take it as pit walkabout pass holders are already aware of the schedule and the duration given for the sessions. If we don't push to get the crowd away from the pits in time, the next part of the event gets delayed and the rest follows. No one likes that, not even the spectators. We know you don't like to be touched but if you were to pay attention or stay alert to the blues' warning, things will run safe and smooth. For example, safety cars or officials often have to pass through the fast lane to open, close or inspect the track. They won't or can't horn at you because they're not in regular road vehicles to horn at you and partially because you have the right to be there during the session so they act respectfully. The blues ensure you don't linger on the fast lane with your eyes fixed elsewhere and not on approaching vehicles. We warn you of that danger when it approaches but it's up to you to hear us. Besides that, you can throw your insults on marshals taking shots of the girls in provocative manners but the girls are already there for all in provocative attire. So, if you believe you're a religious police of sorts.... pal, you're in the wrong side of town. Marshals need to enjoy the work they do coz if they don't, tough chances are future race events will be reduced. We're all in it to make race events successful as much as possible and we're there to enjoy the atmosphere just as much as you do. (Whoever came out with the idea that "what's a race event without girls"? I agree but not wholly. I'd say, "what's a race without anyone ensuring there will be a race?" I say this not for my profit but to help reach an understanding that feelings of hatred on those who strives hard for success be eliminated.---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------As sincere as possible, i'll just reply to TEAMADVAN's comment from the last few lines. Firstly, make up your mind as whether you want to work for free or be paid to.You're most welcome to try out as a marshal. You will find the answers you need personally. That alone will test & prove your true interest in the motor sports and how long you will last with the interest. To apply, go to the malaysiangp.com.my or sepangcircuit.com.my website & find a section to apply as a marshal. Mind you, there is an AAM exam you will need to go through 1st to be graded as a licensed marshal. When the exam is to be held, you will be informed. Once you make it through, let me know. I'm not with AAM. Contact me at <a href="mailto:minionarcane@yahoo.com">minionarcane@yahoo.com</a> and let me know it's you from here. We'll stay in touch and see your outcome. Ready?<img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/deal.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":deal:" title="Deal    :deal:" data-shortname=":deal:" />---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------I hate to call you guys idiots but we're not biased to serve the foreigners in a special way other than the way we treat you. We treat everyone the same and we do it because SIC has the plans in schedule and standards and procedures to follow. Blaming the marshals for pushing (not physically) the crowd to disperse and clearing the pits before time is not proper. You ought to voice your dissatisfaction to SIC directly. The marshals are only doing what they were instructed to by SIC. Marshals being rude? 'Malaysian customers' tend to use the word "rude" when it really wasn't the situation when described in detail. So, get right into the detail as to who, what, where, when, which & why for an action from anybody to follow. If these can't be provided there's no way a case can be investigated, no?---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------Seriously, you're calling the marshals as monkeys, hansap, 3rd world mentality, bringing bad name to the country... what else...? What about you yourselves? You don't realize that if you're a Malaysian, you're even better publicizing nothing bad but painting negative images of your own country? I'm doing the same as i'm saying it, aren't i? Well, at least i'd be slapping some sense to you and favoring your country by crushing this useless hate topic. If you're a foreigner, i'm sure you could be more 'professional' than how you depict yourselves to be by making your formal and useful complains or feedbacks sent to the right channel and allow them to proceed with action if necessary. If you truly believe that proof of images will bring you the result you expected, sorry to say that there are many more people who think otherwise as well. Answer these questions yourselves before you attempt to fire empty bullet shells: What was YOUR motive to snap those pics of the marshals? Was it jealousy? Was it just plain hatred regardless of the other professionals who take motor sports seriously? Were you one of the race team crews or drivers or race queens or officials who were against marshals taking snaps or souvenirs? Are you a frustrated VIP? Are you a VIP? Are you a marshal? Are you a photographer? Are you a media staff offended for not being able to grab on souvenirs or deprived of getting shots of the hotties yourself? Are you a spectator? Are you a party politician attempting to dig 'rubbish piles' for scraps to use against another? Are you a psychotic mama's boy who wants everybody to think & act like you do? Are you someone who finds humiliating another is a form of pleasure? Are you one who finds that using smileys will get you to put in your hard work of degrading another to higher places? Would you prefer if we hound and stalk your moves while you're plain enjoying yourselves? Do you have the right to take a picture of a stranger without their consent? Are you the holiest almighty to judge another by your digital devices? Do you not have your own weaknesses? Do you not have such pleasures yourselves? Do you not have enough money? Do you think we're above all with or without money? Do you really think we're kings? Do you think that without marshals, you would be able to handle the event more successfully? Do you think that your money spent on the pass is as worth as giving you every single piece of the action no matter where, when or how? Do you think that all marshals deserve the same treatment you give to the 'some' or 'few'? Do you think that the 'some' or 'few' marshals you've pinpointed made grave mistakes? If they did, can you say what they were again? Before you answer that, can you say why you came for the event yourself? .... and the list goes on.</blockquote>
