Shah Alam stadium to be inspected again this week

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 — Amid risk of not being able to host Selangor’s games in the upcoming Malaysian League (M-League) season, the Shah Alam Stadium will be inspected once again this week, this time focusing on its roof damage.

Darul Ehsan Facilities Management (DEFM) business development manager Mohd Fahmi Mohd Nordin said the initial inspection conducted by the Malaysian Football League (MFL) did not touch on the damage to the roof, and focussed more on the improvement of the field’s surface and the condition of the dressing room.

“We (DEFM) will have another round of checks with MFL and Football Association of Selangor in the next few days so let’s wait and see what decision is made first. In the previous inspection, it was more about the specifications, and the MFL did not provide any feedback on the roof,” he told Bernama.

He said DEFM could only give the guarantee of closely monitoring the facilities for the safety of spectators until repairs were done, in the case Selangor were allowed to continue using the stadium.

“The roof damage will definitely not be able to be fixed prior to the season’s opening, but we will monitor closely from time to time, especially if there is a thunderstorm,” he said.

MFL Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mohd Shazli Shaik Mohd was quoted as saying that he had submitted a proposal to FAS to undertake some immediate repairs to the stadium including the roofing, adding that all venues were required to get the league operator’s approval at least a week prior to the start of the season.
