SHAH ALAM, Aug 19 — The demolition of the Malawati Stadium in Section 13, which began on August 1, is expected to be completed by early next year.
Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated) or MBI said the works form part of the redevelopment of the Shah Alam Sports Complex (KSSA), aimed at providing a modern, user-friendly, and world-class sports facility for Selangor residents and Malaysians in general.
The contractor in charge has been instructed to strictly comply with safety procedures, as well as dust and noise control measures, to minimise disruption and safeguard the well-being of the surrounding community.
“The process is expected to be completed by early 2026, subject to weather conditions and smooth on-site operations,” it said in a statement today.
MBI also apologised for any inconvenience that may arise during the project implementation.
Previously, MBI chief executive officer Dato' Saipolyazan M Yusop had said that the demolition of the old Shah Alam Stadium was completed ahead of its June 30 deadline.
Developed by MRCB Land Sdn Bhd, via its wholly owned subsidiary Lembaran Prospek Sdn Bhd, the first phase of the KSSA project involves the construction of a new stadium with a seating capacity between 30,000 and 40,000, a parking plaza, and an integrated terminal connecting to the Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3).
The second phase includes commercial development like a youth and sports wing, an indoor theatre with a 10,000-seat capacity, retail spaces, and recreational areas.
The final stage will see the construction of a hotel, which is expected to be ready by the end of 2029.
Previously, when opening the First Meeting of the Third Term of the 15th Selangor State Legislative Assembly on February 18, the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj had projected that the KSSA development would be a significant landmark in sports development.
On May 16, during the handover ceremony for the development of the KSSA, Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the project, which took years to shape, was led by the vision of the Raja Muda of Selangor Tengku Amir Shah and backed by the state administration.
