Observing from a corner.........seem that people who complained can't be representing everyone. You know, we all have different expectations, except that the silent majority, if I should say so, although see certain things not up to their expectations, are willing to accept them as part and parcel of life based on the principle of "give and take", the fact that no human is perfect and we must appreciate other's people effort.
Complaining and condemning others, if we are not careful, could be easily become some sort of mental therapy for some who have either too stressful lives or too free, thus would take any opportunity to vent out their frustrations or boredom.
The complains by one or two from the north were basically, as you could read in FB, are on things which could be considered as trivial viz a viz, no drift event, not much programs, no chance to eratkan silaturrahim (saying no chance is simply an excuse, most important, do you really wish to do so?), not enough convenient foodstalls, had driven long distance from the north and come just to park his car, etc. At the same time saying something like.... have old cars so people didn't care or saying that people overcharged for food and drink taking advantage of orang kampung, etc....you could just analyse, all these could be proven irrational one by one...and it looks more like a complete failure to see the bigger picture.
The silent majority who love to see BMW cars and proud to own ones. They may not necessarily wish to drift race, to mat rempit, to have beer and dancing girls, etc. They probably just wish to see many BMW cars in one place - which was very rare and in our case a Malaysia Guinness Record. Actually there are a lot of things to be happy about and just being there in that moment is something important enough to most people. Anyone who think this is not important shouldn't have come to bimmerfest in the first place.
Maybe an ideal scenario for people who complained would be all the other BMW onwers parked their cars elsewhere and then all come to a beach to admire someone's beautifully modified BMW, and then become audience or spectators of drift race show, etc. At the same time on that beach there are plenty of food and drink, BBQ, Music, Karaoke, singing competition, some game of musical chair, etc......:wink:
