KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) today urged the government to set up a commission of inquiry to probe the collapse of a section of the roof of the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in Gong Badak, Terengganu.
Its chairman, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, said the incident was far too serious to be given a normal investigation and added that it had also affected public confidence in the construction industry.
"It warrants a full-scale, thorough and independent investigation. Therefore, a commission under the Commission of Inquiry Act is needed to get to the bottom of the cause of the tragic and scandalous event," he told Bernama when contacted.
Lee said the commission could determine who were liable for prosecution.
"The matter must be seriously addressed by the relevant authorities," he said, adding that it was fortunate that nobody was injured in the incident.
A section of the roof of the RM300-million stadium collapsed yesterday. The stadium is part of the modern Gong Badak sports complex.
