SEPANG – A total of 429 policemen, including 39 officers, will be stationed at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) for the Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix.

Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Aziz Ali said they were from Special Branch, the Narcotics and Communications departments and the bomb squad.

He told a press conference yesterday that metal detectors would also be placed at all entry points to prevent anyone from bringing in weapons or harmful objects.

“Whatever kind of weapon or drugs, please leave them behind. If anyone is found to possess items deemed as harmful, we will not hesitate to take action,” he said.

Spectators should follow police instructions and the road signs to ensure their journey to the venue was smooth, he added.

“Do not use the emergency lane and please park your vehicles at the provided parking space.”

He advised them to come early and take advantage of the 30 free shuttles provided by SIC to ferry spectators to the venue.

ACP Abdul Aziz said the lane along the welcome centre would become a one-way street during the event.

“There will be a few changes to the traffic flow. We will be closing the road leading to the Bukit Tinjau traffic light and motorists will be redirected to the LCCT roundabout.

Before F1, Singapore had Grand Prix from 1961-1973
