The Sepang Sessions Court has discharged the nine Australian men who stripped to their swimwear emblazoned with the Jalur Gemilang at the Formula One Grand Prix in Sepang over the weekend.

Though Judge Harith Sham Mohamed Yasin said their conduct was "totally inappropriate" and had “provoked the sensitivity of Malaysians”, he however took into account their young age.

Judge Harith also took into consideration how the nine, aged between 25 and 29, were remanded for four days, had lacked awareness that their action was insensitive and that they were remorseful.
