    Singapore F1 Fans Bribed Security Guard To Allow Them In, Even Helped Them Take Epic Photo

    The Singapore GP, organisers of the Formula One race here, are investigating a claim that a security guard was bribed into allowing a couple to enter the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

    On Sep 17, All Singapore Stuff published a screenshot of a Facebook post showing the couple in question posing for a picture on the tracks near a Johnnie Walker advertisement board.

    Read a caption on the post:

    “3am in the morning. Bribed the security guard to let us onto track. He not only agreed, he took the photo. Non F1 fans won’t understand this, but most of us will.”

    In response to a media query, the Singapore GP told Stomp that they are looking into the matter.

    Said a spokesman:

    “The safety of our patrons is of utmost priority and we view allegation of bribery seriously. We are working with the appointed security agency assigned to the reported area, to investigate the claim.”

  • Sultan Johor: Curved Design Of Proposed Rail Track Impractical

    Sultan Johor: Curved Design Of Proposed Rail Track Impractical

    The Sultan of Johor has spoken against the design of the proposed rail track linking Woodlands in Singapore and Bukit Chagar, Johor Bahru, and questioned the involvement of government-owned firm Prasarana Malaysia Bhd in the project.

    “Why must it be Prasarana? Why not the Johor government?” asked Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar in an interview with New Straits Times today.

    “The project is entirely in Johor; so why should Prasarana be involved? Let the Johor government and Singapore have a joint-venture and I can raise funds if need be.”

    The rail track which includes a 30m-high bridge comes under the Rapid Transit System (RTS), the latest link to serve travellers who use the Causeway linking Malaysia and Singapore.

    Both Prasarana and Singapore’s SMRT Corp are currently negotiating the joint venture.

    Sultan Ibrahim said the design of the bridge was impractical, costly and would disrupt the state capital Johor Bahru’s skyline.

    “The design matters to us and by ‘us’, I mean Johor,” he said.

    He urged for a review of the whole design, saying the current curve-shaped design was not only costly but also impractical.

    “Go back to the drawing board and review the overall plan.”

    Sultan Ibrahim said he should be consulted for any project involving his state.

    “Whatever (new plan) is presented to me, it will have to be logical, economical and sustainable for the benefit of not only Johoreans but all Malaysians and Singaporeans.”

    During the interview, the ruler sketched a design, saying a straighter track which is closer to the Causeway was more practical.

    “Why do they need an elevated bridge with up to 30m air draft (clearance height from water to a vessel’s height) unless there are plans to remove the Causeway?” he asked.

  • Sebastian Vettel: Tighter Security Needed After Track Invasion

    Sebastian Vettel: Tighter Security Needed After Track Invasion

    Sebastian Vettel called for tighter security at the Singapore Grand Prix after a “crazy” spectator ran across the track in front of him and took a photo on Sunday.

    The Ferrari driver and eventual winner said he did a double-take when the man appeared shortly after the race’s halfway stage, an incident which prompted the safety car.

    Police said a 27-year-old man was arrested and was helping with investigations, without giving further details.

    “I had to look again because I wasn’t sure whether I had a problem with my eyesight or I saw somebody crossing the track,” Vettel said.

    “I went on the radio and said some guy’s crossing the track. I saw him taking a picture — I hope it was a good one at least, it was in focus!

    “Yeah, (it was) pretty crazy. We approach that corner around 280-290 clicks (kilometres per hour; 174-180 miles per hour). I wouldn’t cross the track if I was him so yeah, it was crazy.

    “Maybe next year they need to block the grandstands a bit better. Fortunately nothing happened to us and nothing happened to him, as far as I know.”

    Fans are positioned close to the track in some parts of the street circuit, most of which is enclosed by walls and tall metal fencing.

    Central Singapore grinds to a standstill for the race which snakes past modern and historic landmarks along usually busy roads of the former British colony.

    “I think he did a pretty good job, he was a quick runner. He crossed me from the right to the left,” Vettel said.

    “Pretty odd, obviously that’s not what you expect when you come round looking into the next corner.”

    Video footage of the incident showed the man walking down the side of a stretch of track before hopping through a gap in the fence.

    The safety car came out for four laps after the incident before the race resumed.
