The stadium’s iconic shell roof, the longest dual-direction cantilevered structure in Southeast Asia in 1957, has been painstakingly restored to its former glory. The stadium will once again become a hub of activity, hosting sporting events, cultural celebrations, and community gatherings. It will be a place where Malaysians from all walks of life can unite, united by a shared sense of pride and belonging.
Constructed in just 11 months, Stadium Merdeka was a marvel of modern engineering when it opened its doors the same year.The stadium, the brainchild of Tan Sri Stanley Edward Jewkes, the Director of the Public Works Department of Malaya, was built using 160 architectural design drawings, 200,000 tonnes of earth removed, 10,000 tonnes of concrete, and 700 tonnes of steel reinforcement.
