During the inauguration of the RM14.4 million Tangkak racing circuit in Johor, Youth and Sports (KBS) minister Khairy Jamaluddin promised a racing circuit in every state in Malaysia. Khairy said this was inline with the government’s plan to support and encourage the motorsports industry in Malaysia.
This is part of the National Motorsports Development programme to identify and nurture young racers and elevate them to international level. In addition to the Tangkak circuit, which measures 1.2 km, built and owned by KBS, another circuit will open this year in Jengka, Pahang.
The Jengka circuit measures 2.4 km in length with a capacity of 2,000 spectators and will cost RM40 million. Meanwhile, the Terengganu state government has announced that a motorsports complex will be built adjacent to the Dungun Velodrome.
Launch of the Tangkak circuit coincided with the opening round of the 2018 Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, which is in its 25th edition. Three classes were contested, the CP150, CP115 and Wira KBS, which were won by Kasma Daniel Kasmayuddin of Johor, Tengku Amirul Haffirudin of Terengganu and Danial Syahmi of Perak, respectively.
April fools was yesterday guys
Isn’t it better to give the money to our hospitals? All government hospitals have their funding squeezed. Some, even blood tests also cannot do cause funding run dry.
Fake news. Its been confirmed only imported drugs take time to come but still available. Meanwhile generic drugs is plenty, even can gip free for Hepatitis C.
“SELAYANG: Government hospitals nationwide will be providing free Hepatitis C treatment to patients, says Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.
The Health Minister said 2,000 Hepatitis C patients would be treated this year after the drug sofosbuvir was made available to patients through compulsory licensing.”
Fake??? I am one of those affected. Last september 2017, the public clinic’s doctor told me to come back for lab test on march 2018 as their budget has ran out for the whole year. They will get the new budget on january, process the procurement on february nad ready to use on march. Fact is always be fact. Don’t try to hide it with fake accounts and fake denials.
Fake name calling others fake. As if we dunno who u really r. Enuff with ur fail-ry tales with no proof lah.
Funny, for a guys that boasts about the superiority of foreigners, why you bothered to go to gomen hospital? If Your nose so effing high up with your bank balance go private la….
ignore this john idiot. Troublemaker troll
Seriously? When cost of living is on the rise?
Thats what Im talking about! KJ ekceli listens to sound advice from young gen, as what I proposed last year.
As i said, make it cheap enuff and get rempit gangs involved to influence their members off the road and into these tracks. It dun have to be big, just gud enuff for bikes and go karts. Make a state championship series which feeds to nationals held at SIC. Current and former pro-racers can be mentors to these greenhorns ala Akedemi Fantasia. Have 2 kinds of competition, best rider and best pit crew (sapot teams too needs some lovin yo!), this will build world beating MY riders and racing outfit as well. The best managed teams can then be satellite feeder teams ala TECH3 Monster.
We need more Hafizh! MY Boleh!
Clap clap clap. KJ listen to john !! Its time U get involved with the youth/KJ instead of wasting your time here. What say U ?!
Who says pipu cant multitask? Ah but budak 12tahun dun understand this complex operation done by adults.
Training & nurturing youth is a FULL time job. Multitasking means not concentrating in one. Now U know why a math teacher don’t teach Geography ! This is a serious business. Don’t Play Play OK !!!
Ekceli I knew a Math teacher that taught Geo as well, and she excelled in both. Maths & Geo has a lot of common esp with Trigonometry.
Ah, but u havent learn those subjects yet, u will see what i mean when it comes. Not easy thou, so better stop the keyboarding and go back learn these subjects well, dun play-play OK!!!
Easily accessible cheap circuits cultivates a positive car culture. As long is no where like Sepang’s RM300++/session, In comparison a lap on the much longer and demanding(and famous) Nurburgring Nordscheliefe is only RM140 equivalent or €29, much more accessible considering their higher average income in Western Europe. A RM30/2 lap on something about the size of Ebisu or Tsukuba, a low maintenance circuit is sufficient…… can double as a community sports center as well.
Hear hear.
a ‘simple’ layout race track is gud enuff like Tangkak track. what’s important is safety to riders and spectators. it’ actually a different kind of feeling when you can sit or stand nearer to the race..unlike Sepang. the same reason why Europe football stadium don’t have athletics track
Cant be too close otherwise these ‘simple’ tracks will need complex & exp safety barriers like SIC. Dun want the racers skid into the crowd, right? Safety buffer is necessary, but why not have open pit to spectators after race for spectator engagement PR?
Tangkak is a good example for a basic track for local community. At rm15 mil its actually really good value thus fees shouldnt be high for ppl to use. Unfortunately its election season so i rather take this news with a pinch of salt.
Better than free EPL channel lor.
Rempits ain’t gonna go for it, even if free entrance. They know they’ll be scrutinized by the authorities & can be nabbed anytime should there be an operasi.
Besides, rempits go for the thrill of street racing, long straights rather than corners, unlike racing tracks that has numerous corners.
A change in rempit thinking will make this doable. But they need to get these gangs into the program and influence their members. Rempiters r social creatures, and they will not risk being ostracised by their gangs for stubbornly racing on the streets, not esp when they see their fellows ex-rempiters making waves in legal racing scenes. Their jealousy will make them get to the tracks eventually.
Sometimes I can’t tell if U are being SARCASTIC or making fun of these young M’sian by your chosen words like Rempits, Social Creatures & these Gangs.
Is this your was of SHOWING Responsibility as a Parents which U advocate fervently on “child left in car died”.
They SHOULD be schooling or learning some skills that will benefits parents, nation & themselves at this young age, NO !!
No sarcasm, just calling a spade, a spade. Thats what I teach my kids too. Rempit & lajak is the colloquial terms used, so i used with no connotative whatsoever. Similarly, i call a gang, a gang. And thats what they r, but that dun have any negative meaning as well.
Ur the dragon type that press-ganged their kids to thumb books and nothing else. I gip my kids freedom to express themselves in safety even for extreme sports. All kids must be given same liberties and who knows, they might be next Rossi, Schumi, or Mozart.
This is MY, not China. Let kids be kids.
Hehehe. In short, U will bash this rempits when U want to but will defend them if U choose to. HYPOCRITE of the highest order.
Nope. They just misguided flock. Idleness is the devils plaything. With proper guidance and outlet, their actions can be made beneficial. I see the positives in whatever actions, only u wanna see negatives in everything. Whos the hypocrite?
azlan shah, zulfahmi, zaqwan, hafizh, sharol yuzy, kharul idham..they are certainly different kind of rempits..pls refer to the pics above
Tru dat bro casualrider. At some point, these pipu used to be rempits or lajaks but with proper guidance and right environment, look at how they bloomed into pro-racers. This shud be emulated at amateur levels as what KJ is proposing. Kudos for listening to the young!
Utamakan apa yang perlu… Race track over medical care + education …. *Facepalm*
