Probe On Collapse Of Stadium's Roof Almost Completed

KUALA TERENGGANU, July 14 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has almost completed the investigation papers on the collapse of part of the roof at the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium, last month.

MACC Director (Intelligence Division) Datuk Mohd Jamidan Abdullah said so far, more than 90 per cent of the investigations, pertaining to elements of corruption, power abuse and misappropriation, had been carried out.

"We will complete the investigation papers as soon as possible," he said after closing the Seminar on Integrity in the Management of the Environment - Local Authorities for the northern zone, here Tuesday.

In the incident on June 2, almost 60 per cent of the roof structure of the stadium, which cost RM270 million and was opened by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on May 10, last year, collapsed.

Commenting further, Mohd Jamidan said the investigation involved everyone and would be comprehensive.

"We needed some time to finalise the investigation. Sometimes, the witnesses are abroad and so on," he said.

In another development, he said the SPRM's intelligence branch for the Eastern Zone would be created this year to check corruption in a more effective manner.
