Stadium roof may collapsePETALING JAYA: The delay in replacing the damaged roof of the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil has made it a danger to users, the Auditor-General's Report stated.
The report also said the warranty period had expired in 2008, and it had been in a deplorable state since then.
The vinyl roof material had tears, and the screws and cables holding it together were rusty.
“It is in danger of collapse and needs immediate repairs,” the report said.
Feedback from the Treasury department stated that the delay was caused by financial constraints.
Merdeka Stadium Corporation (MSC) sent six applications to the Youth and Sports Ministry between 2006 and last year, and RM30mil was finally approved.
MSC's function is to maintain, prepare, promote, and manage all national sports complexes.
The allocation was approved under the 9th Malaysia Plan in December last year and subsequently the project was handed over to the Public Works Department (PWD) in April due to lack of expertise.
Meanwhile, a MSC spokesperson said the tender to replace the roofs would be opened next month and
repair works were scheduled to start in January next year.She said of the RM30mil, RM18mil was for the replacement of the stadium's roof and the balance was for other upgrading works.
“Work will start in January and it is expected to take a year.“Therefore, during that period the stadium will be closed,” she said

ermmm.... yang ini akan ada masalah, on that day UiTM ada convocation. segala laluan dan kawasan stadium ditutup (padang Kawad UiTM), so aku terfikir mereka nak parking di mana??? dengan kawasan UiTM sduah sesak sedia ada, sehingga memaksa pihak UiTM menyewa kawasan parkir Giant sek7 Shah Alam untuk para graduan dan ibu bapa meletakkan kenderaan di situ..
Dengan cerita akan ada kerjasam dari pihak Ganusoccer dan N9Futboll mereka nak berpiket?? Aressandro boleh sahkan? coz aku tahu kau ahli tegar GSN kan? Moderator di sana lagi. Patut! Tunjukkan suara dan kuasa penyokong.
salah tu bro. Aku bukan ahli GSN. Jarang masuk situ pon sebenarnye. Aku lebih gemar follow TFC kat facebook jer. Tu pon bukan ahli tegar..
aku sokong kalau org berpiket di tiket counter.. kasi pressure sikit dekat org yag nak beli tiket ..
