The recent downpour in Palembang, South Sumatra, left behind numerous puddles at the Jakabaring Sport City, future site of the 2011 SEA Games, proving that the drainage system in the complex was not fully functional.
Puddles formed on the tracks between the aquatic and athletic arena even when there was no rain, which can damage the newly planted grass.
According to SEA Games Arena Construction Committee chairman Rizal Abdullah, the puddles were proof that the gutters did not work well.
"We are thankful for the rain because it has indirectly tested the preparedness and sturdiness of the buildings," he said on Friday as reported by tempointeraktif.com.
The downpour also caused a signboard at the roller-skating arena and security gates at the athletic building to tilt.
Rizal added that such issues should not be exaggerated.
The downpour has also slowed down construction, although builders guarantee that all the construction work would be completed on time.
