So does this mean squash is an extreme sport now?
Adding to the list of Malaysian stadiums and public hospitals falling into disrepair, the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil suffered a partial roof collapse on Tuesday, destroying an office within its premises as water seeped into the centre.
The collapse and subsequent flooding did not damage the squash courts or the Squash Racquet Association of Malaysia (SRAM) office.
The centre’s roof had undergone maintenance work a couple of years ago, but the centre itself has yet to be given any major refurbishment since it opened for the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
The centre operates under the auspices of the Malaysia Stadium Corporation (MSC). MSC Chief Executive Officer declined to comment at length, saying, “I have been instructed by Sports Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Jamil Salleh not to give any statement.”
Members of the press have not been allowed to enter the centre, although several photos of the damage have leaked out onto social media networks.
