The group participated in a local go-karting race during their trip.\n\nThe trip took place ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix, which is set to occur in Malaysia this weekend. According to the Malay Mail, the Malaysian government expects the Grand Prix, along with the Le Tour de Langkawi and the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon, to proceed despite haze affecting parts of the country.\n\nThe haze situation is being monitored, with the Youth and Sports Ministry expected to make decisions on the events based on prevailing conditions. Malaysia has offered assets to Indonesia to help tackle fires contributing to the regional haze.",
