It was reported in the star that the repair to the damaged stadium will be done next year.
The MB of Terengganu, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said said the state government decided to go ahead with the repair because the damage get worsen due to the long neglect.
The repair will start with the football field followed by the roof. Most likely new roof will be ade of lighter material.
The Public work department will be issuing a tender document.
It was not known whether the collapse happen while the stadium is under warranty. There was such a report, and it would be a logical step that the contractor would be liable to do the repair. However logic may not necessarily applicable here.

In Mar 2010, the newspaper reported that the repair of the collapsed roof should be done by the contractor as the stadium was still under the warranty
A few important issues were raised:
1. Serious engineering flaws, shoddy workmanship, inferior materials and lack of expertise in the key project management team were found to be the main contributing factors behind the roof collapse of Terengganu Stadium at Gong Badak.
2. the project management team did not have the necessary skills and competence to manage a project
Mar 11, 2010 ... Also, repair works should be undertaken by a specialist contractor. ... a year after the handover and the stadium was still under warranty. ...
On 11 Jun 2011, It was reported that the repair has not started.

There was not mention that the repair will be conducted by the contractor. It had been two long years after the collapse. I believe that Terengganu does not have any problem with cash as the state is given the oil royalty.
The royalty was stopped when the state fell to the opposition, a situation many people find it hard to understand. But given the situation of the collapse roof and a few more buildings, then the logic seem clearer.. . If you cannot manage a 300 mil project, how can you manage a billion dollars assignment.
