Bernama reports that 60 percent of the roof at the stadium that was built at a cost of RM270 million and opened on May 10 last year, collapsed, including that above the royal box at the grand stand. According to a worker, Mohd Zaidi Ahmad who was one of two workers who were fixing lights at the stadium about 300m from where the incident happened, said he rushed to the scene to see if there were any casualties.
However, although there was no immediate news of anyone being injured, a team from the fire and rescue department and the Civil Defence Unit were at the scene to check if there were any victims trapped under the rubble. Another witness, Asmadi Hashim who lives about 400m from the stadium, said he heard a loud explosion and had initially thought it came from an aircraft engine as the Sultan Mahmud Airport was situated close by.Other witnesses claimed that the roof above the VIP area of the grand stand, including the royal box, was the first to collapse. A visit by Bernama to the site saw workers clearing the debris. When opened last year, just ahead of the SUKMA that was hosted by Terengganu, the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium stood as a landmark for sports development in the state.
It was also the venue for a number of other major sporting events, Super League and Premier League football matches. A sports meet involving staff of local universities due to start tomorrow at the venue has been called off following the roof collapse.The multi-use stadium in Kuala Terengganu is the biggest stadium in the East Coast and was built to host the 2008 Sukma Games.
