The roof of the 50,000-capacity Gong Badak stadium in Terengganu collapsed at about 7.30am today.
In the incident, 60 percent of the roof at the stadium collapsed, including that above the royal box at the grand stand.
Eyewitnesses told Malaysiakini that several vehicles were crushed by the falling roof.
Freelance journalist Sazali Mohd Nor told Malaysiakini that the high roof at one end of the one-year-old stadium had collapsed.
The low roof on the other end of the stadium was unaffected.
Malaysiakini learnt that the stadium's consultants were worried about the integrity of the roofs which were built by a foreign contractor.
The RM270 million Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium, the biggest stadium in the east coast, was built to host the 2008 Sukma Games.
