  "account": "Sepang hosted families who gathered for the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia, bringing together long-time supporters and young children experiencing motorsport for the first time. Parents and children eagerly soaked up the atmosphere together.\n\nTechnician Mohd Najhan Madnor, 38, traveled from Johor Bahru with his family of eight for the eighth year in a row. Despite spending more than RM1,000, Najhan found the trip worthwhile, praising the fantastic atmosphere. Travelling in a large group was smooth, and Najhan found the entry arrangements hassle-free, with no queue problems.\n\nFor Shameer Ishak, 30, and his wife Syasya Roslan, 32, the motivation was their three-year-old son, Emir Areez. The couple drove from Nilai, Negri Sembilan, to let Emir experience the excitement of motorcycles. Shameer, who works as a ground crew member, said Emir loved the loud sounds and they mainly came for him. The couple hadn't bought tickets when interviewed, opting to enjoy the atmosphere and spent RM30 on parking. Syasya, an accountant, found the shuttle buses convenient, ensuring a smooth outing even with a young child. Najhan will stay overnight before returning to Johor Bahru after the race on Sunday.",
