M’sian man walks nearly 10km from Sepang F1 circuit to outlet mall in KL heat after seeing long shuttle bus queue
The journey took him one hour and 40 minutes.
A Malaysian comedian, Gajen Nad, embarked on a remarkable 9km walk from the Sepang International Circuit to the Mitsui Outlet Park in Kuala Lumpur on October 2. The journey came about after he witnessed a lengthy shuttle bus queue and decided walking would be a quicker alternative. Nad began his trek at 6:25pm and arrived at the outlet mall 40 minutes later, at 8:05pm.
His Instagram post documenting the 1.5-hour journey showed a scene he likened to a "zombie herd" from the film Train to Busan, with only about 30% of the initial crowd visible. Along the route, Nad crossed a bridge over what he called a "teh tarik river" and passed a solar farm. The heat was intense, described by Nad as "hotter than George Russell and Carlos Sainz together".
He joked that his sunscreen had lost effectiveness by 2pm. The final challenge of the journey involved crossing a highway in the dark, an experience Nad described as shaking his "insurance policy". Sepang is hosting its first F1 race since 2017, with the Bahrain Grand Prix relocated to Malaysia due to geopolitical conflicts. The race weekend runs from October 2 to 4, with the main event on October 4.
