The first sign would likely make the runners shit themselves laughing.

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Signs compared with our other Standard Chartered Marathon cousins- Singapore. Defo less signs and vibes there.

u/toonch0819 Perak 1d ago

As someone who run both in Sg and KL(yes,I gt run today as well), I definitely vouch for the better vibes in KL SC run than Sg. SG SC marathon feels too "clean" while KL one is a little vibey. I would say SG run feels a bit more like a company event while KL is more of a Hari Sukan in your local primary school.

u/pwaaron 1d ago

As someone who ran in both, this is why KL's energy is unbeatable.

78

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

another Singapore comparison

Could only find these 2 pics. So I guess signs and having fun isn’t a thing there

17

u/bluewarri0r 1d ago

Yall have issues 🤣 always comparing with Singapore

u/cock_pussy Kuala Lumpur 1d ago

If siblings ain’t competitive, they ain’t siblings, but coworkers

u/azizsafudin 1d ago

There’s no competition

12

u/cock_pussy Kuala Lumpur 22h ago

There's always competition, we can't let Singaporeans claim the kiasuness when they already start to claim all our national food and attractions

16

u/SnooMarzipans5458 1d ago

Came from Singapore to run here today. On my way to the airport now 😂

u/vdfscg 1d ago

They would get arrested for holding a sign there 

-23

u/rmp20002000 1d ago

Yeah, life is less exciting when there is less corruption

19

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Yawn…

What’s that got to do with a marathon?

-12

u/rmp20002000 1d ago

People always take a shit on Singapore being boring. I could do with a little less excitement in Malaysia if they could just get things to work like in Singapore.

I am there now and watched The Weeknd concert at the National Stadium. Experience and process is smooth as water and you can even see the SG F1 setup in the streets all ready.

The Weeknd is coming to Bangkok and KL too, but I would still to have the experience in Singapore first. Bangkok second. KL pass.

Lets see if KL forces The Weeknd to censor any of his sexually driven lyrics.

9

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Ya ya ya. Signs are still boring as hell though.

Import all these foreign acts but can’t come up with a creative sign.

-11

u/rmp20002000 1d ago

Sure. Die on this hill. KL vibes better because "signs better".

11

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

My post is about signs this whole time. You got butt hurt and started rambling about the weekend.

-1

u/rmp20002000 1d ago

That's because I spent my weekend having an awesome experience watching The Weeknd perform in Singapore amazed with how public transport and safety is all well done, compared to the drama of EVERYDAY MALAYSIA.

First ignore the drunk mat rempits ignoring traffic barricades and injuring 2 KL marathon runners. Then ignore the drama of spectators stranded at Sepang.

Then you take a shit on a Singapore because "signs better". Yeah Malaysia deserve the dysfunction it has because can have better vibes.

9

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Bruh. It’s just some stupid signs at a marathon. Maybe you should get your head checked.

It’s just Singapore dude. Ya it’s great in many regards. But I don’t think any country is perfect. I can also say Singapore has faults because cases of sexual assault against women are so high.

Singapore is just a country. Why you defending it so much. And getting so tilted because Singapore is shit at making signs (which they are)

u/rmp20002000 1d ago

Comparison is the theft of joy. Just found it strange that this is what you found to take a shit on another country.

No one is replying to you. Sit down and farm your karma quietly.

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

“Farm karma”

Cmon buddy. Just enjoy the marathon.

u/Felx_biri 1d ago

fr lol but yeah its Malaysia..

u/anndrenalyn 14h ago

this is for a fun non profitable personal signage. not everyone is an artist or will go out of the way to hire one. it's so easy to just spam AI slop nowadays

7

u/thateccentricasian Give me more dad jokes! 13h ago

Will take any badly drawn handmade poster over AI slop any day. See: Niu Lai’s handdrawn posters in Chinese cinemas.

0

u/gao-um Melaka 14h ago

How hard it is to create the first sign? Harder than asking AI to generate?

-2

u/pwaaron 1d ago

Better than no poster at all 🥀🥀🥀

u/BallsHD4k60fps 17h ago

Nothing is very much better than eye violation.

Relax la, diorg happy, kau darah tinggi

u/starplatinum_99 22h ago

Itu la kadang nyampah gak anti AI ni. Kalau company gaining profit ye la nak bising ni org commoner bagi sokongan je pun

-5

u/Prestigious-Wish-428 1d ago

Ah. Standard Malaysian nothing is good enough comment from someone who didnt even bother showing up.

u/b1ub055a 23h ago

Wah StanChart KL so meriah and creative!!!!

u/B42YaG4 18h ago

Thank you mobile air purifiers. Please add more laps.

u/MrHerringBun 1d ago

Run faster, your problem is catching up to you! 🏃 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

u/achik86 1d ago

I started joining events this year in Europe (Malaysian abroad). Rasa mcm nak join je the KL one next year, just to read the signs and have a laugh during the run 😂

17

u/haznam Selangor 1d ago

Lmao the comment section post really bringing up the AI poster when its used to support their friends, family, or whoever closest to them. Its not used for commercials, corporations, or formal. Amenda la. Takleh chill

5

u/purpler_stripes 18h ago

do you know why ppl oppose ai posters in the first place?

10

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Redditors always gotta be superior 🤷

44

u/I_am_from_2029 1d ago

Thumbs up to those who didn’t use AI to make their signs.

F*** those who use AI generated signs.

23

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Relax dude… it’s just supporting your friends. It’s not a company’s marketing campaign.

19

u/AgVargr 1d ago

I’d still be grateful that they came of course, but I’d take a badly written sign over an AI sign any day of the week. Maybe that’s just me

If your child handed you a perfect AI generated picture of yourself vs a bad hand drawn portrait of you, which one would you treasure more?

19

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Of course the hand drawn sign. But you’re making this deeper than it needs to be.

If you ran a marathon an AI sign is the last thing you’ll be worried about

8

u/AgVargr 1d ago

You’re right about that 🤣

6

u/PhasingPhaser 1d ago

Yeah I don't get the hate either for people using AI tools to assist them to express their support for friends and family 🤷

-6

u/Bepis_Boi_Ultra 1d ago

If my friends use AI to diss on me we ain't friends anymore.

22

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Ok bro. Sorry to hear your friendship is so fragile.

3

u/Prestigious-Wish-428 1d ago

You dont look like someone whose friends think is worth showing up for anyway. So nothing you have to worry about.

1

u/Prestigious-Wish-428 1d ago

They probably didnt know they were getting interviewed for a top creative designer role. What pretentious fuck are you

-2

u/doomed151 1d ago

Gen AI is based. It's completely optional of course but it's fine to use it.

u/_InFiNiTy16 1d ago

All my homies stan Aida

u/ImprovementLow4724 1d ago

These are gold 😂

u/Extra-Control2120 4h ago

I ran a half marathon yesterday, All my pain faded away that last 500m cause the signs were so comical. Thanks to do dude that gave me a free coke too.

u/linwji 4h ago

Nice to have supportive friends waking up early n help look for prospective partners too (slide 6)

u/williamtan2020 4h ago

Will pay to watch these signs and girls

1

u/ingram0079 1d ago

Im guessing someone actually shit themselves before this? That's why the cirit and shit posters?

19

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

I think it’s making fun of the recent hyrox incident.

9

u/rip5yearsoldbadge 1d ago

The recent hyrox incident I guess

3

u/Perfect_Ad_7808 20h ago

Yeah but as a marathon finisher myself, we do have numerous cases where participants actually shit in the middle of the race way before the Hyrox incident.

1

u/jianh1989 7h ago

The difference is marathoners shit outdoor

That hyrox girl shat indoor

u/iwannabethisguy 1d ago

u/Felx_biri 1d ago

Nyeh, I meant.. living in Malaysia - Most of Malaysians will use ai for everything - then we're kinda special, you know? Lol

1

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

You don’t think AI is used this way all over the world… oh child.

-6

u/Ecstatic_Secretary21 1d ago

Have to say most of them are just cringe. Signboard are for easy to interpret message not essays

9

u/soupsripandtear 1d ago

Most are inside jokes and only for either 1 person or a small group of people. It ain't that deep bro.

10

u/PekStarterMalaysiaa 1d ago

Sorry you don’t have any friends to come support you while you run a full marathon
