LEAKY RM 18 MILION AUATIC CENTER SHUT DOWN – No Shit Tau
(NST) KUALA TERENGGANU: The RM18 million Aquatic Centre in Batu Burok here was ordered by the Works Ministry to close indefinitely yesterday. Shaziman Abu Mansor said too many flaws had been detected in the year-old centre, making it unsafe for public use.
The state of the art centre, which has separate facilities for swimming and diving events, was completed in May last year, just in time for the Malaysia Games. Since then, the centre has been open to the the public for swimming.
“We inspected the lower ground level and found too many leaks.
“We also found rusty structures and faulty electrical connections that were exposed to water. All these have made the centre unsafe for use,” Shaziman told reporters after leading a ministry inspection team to the centre.
