THE Dataran Merdeka field is damaged again. The platforms, stage and tents that were set up on Aug 24 to mark the National Day celebration on Aug 31, has taken a toll on the grass.

The brownish yellow patches were revealed on Tuesday, as the contractors dismantled the raised fittings which were constructed and covered with canvas.
