This highlights Malaysia's operational readiness to host major international sporting events on short notice, leveraging existing infrastructure and expertise.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is not facing a shortage of manpower or experienced marshals to handle Formula One (F1) races, as the accreditation process for sports officials in the country is renewed every year.
Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM) president Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir said that although the last time Sepang hosted F1 was in 2017, the availability of technical personnel has always been at the best level.
"There are many experienced people in Malaysia. We will authorise who can be a marshal but if there is a shortage, we will bring in lecturers or experienced people to give a refresher course to all SIC officials," he said when contacted by Bernama.
