Progress of The Future Tallest Tower in Malaysia
Merdeka PNB 118 tower, which is set to break the Petronas Twin
Towers’ longstanding record as Malaysia’s tallest structures, has now reaching up to 30 floors as of 3 August 2018.
With the total of 118 floors, this tower is moving smoothly and
promisingly in the heart of KL which was once a place to announce
the independence day of Malaysia in 1957 - The Merdeka Stadium.
Critics have derided PNB 118, a project of the state-run fund
management company Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) and
launched under former Prime Minister Najib Razak, as wasteful and
extravagant.
Merdeka PNB 118 is high 644 m while the Petronas Twin Towers held the record as the world's tallest skyscrapers in 1998 until they were surpassed in 2004 by Taipei 101 is high 375 m (1230 ft).
PNB 118 is set to be finished in 2024.
Tentatively known as the planned skyscraper Tower M, a trio of
buildings, will rise in KL in the next 10 to 15 years, reported
international news in late July.
