It's actually 141/2 because for any train network, there must be a come, and go. eh actually dun think so..literally 141km is not inclusive to and fro tracks...

Mr Milo SG

there is also a risk of having so many of such projects...........

technological advances, dyanmic economics at work, political changes, all these can combine to make all these projects OBSOLETE!

Just like my Malaysian friend always say "First class infrastructure, Third world maintenance".

What is the point of the engineering feat? The local engineers and surveyors all stay in the air cond office while they let the foreign Bangla, Myanmmar, Indon and Vietnamese labour toil under the hot sun to build the tower? So who in the end learn how to build? The foreign cheap labour. So who is the one who coordinate and design the building? The foreign skilled contractors and consultants they hire from outside the country.

another good sign.

1 ft = 12 in = 30.48 cm = 0.3048m

101 ft = 30.7848m?

Wa so "tall"! I think its not 101 feet lah, more like 101 feet (US) ? meaning ~303m

Lucky I still remembers my metric - imperial conversion

Basic is Inch: 2.54cm

12 In = 1 ft.

3ft = 1 yard

no offense to any.

just wondering whether this idea is one ex-leader wanting to demo to the world/nearest rival the "tallest" of his tomb, afterall his nearest rival created a 3-building "tomb" and put a ship on top and called it a casino..

again, just thinking out of the box.. no offense.

It probably has nothing to do with trying to one-up MBS, but the gist of your thoughts may well be true, i.e. they just want to show off.

After all, what is a 100-storey building but a few standard office buildings stacked one on top of each other? This project is what it's all about: they just want to show off.

As it stands KL already has a glut of vacant office space; there is no real need for a new record-breaking office building. And even if they do need more office space, it would be far more economical to simply build a few standard office buildings. It's not as though they lack land to do so, anyway.

Well, I know the Malaysians think this 100 storey building will be another white elephant. I have been receiving the petition to the government against building this building from my Malaysian friends on Facebook.

they said good for tourism to say M'sia is developed... Wawasan 2020.

But everyone is up in arms against it.

1) Who ends up owning the bldgs? Those few groups in M'sia?

2) Singapore, HK, Shanghai has practical skyscrappers. They might not be tall, but they're well utilised, cos the cities are getting steady FDIs.
