She was speaking at the field's opening ceremony along Jalan Rumbia 2, earlier today. Also in attendance were Shah Alam MP Azli Yusof and Shah Alam City Council (MBSA)
Deputy Secretary for Development Yunus Suri.
The upgrade works were completed in October last year, via a RM200,000 allocation from the Selangor State Economic Planning Unit, with the remaining amount provided by MBSA.
Rodziah added that other repair works included fixing the ball barrier posts and painting the field lines.
"Alhamdulillah, I hope the amenities will be used by the residents for various activities, including aerobics, sports competitions, and so on," she said.
