  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expressed hope that affordable Madani tickets priced at RM200 would provide an opportunity for more Malaysian citizens to experience the thrill of Formula 1 racing at the Sepang International Circuit. The special initiative for MyKad holders was announced after the government reached an agreement with the organizers from Bahrain. He shared this news on Facebook, emphasizing the desire to allow more Malaysians to feel the excitement of Formula 1 firsthand at Sepang. Further details on the ticket purchasing and selling process will be announced by the SIC management soon. Anwar, who was also the finance minister on July 27, reportedly stated that the government is considering introducing cheaper ticket prices to accommodate a larger segment of the public who find international-level race tickets to be quite expensive. The Gulf Air Bahrain F1 Grand Prix will take place in Sepang from October 2 to 4 after regional tensions forced it to relocate from Bahrain. Prior to this, Malaysia had hosted the F1 event at the Sepang International Circuit from 1999 to 2017 before it was removed from the race calendar.",
