    I kinda realised that the Merdeka tower went for “quality than quantity”. They could have spent all the money to make it taller than Burj Khalifa. Instead they spent all the money making its infrastructure so unique and making the building sturdy/safe for the coming future.

In short the design show how he declare independent. The design is like that because it's located next to where Malaysia had it independent which is 'Stadium Merdeka'. That's why the name is 'Merdeka' PNB 118.

    Pnb118's Spire is useable space as an observation deck. Thus, PNB's height without spire is 515m and Burj Khalifa's height without spire is 585m. So basically they are 70m different without spire.

    It feel so sad to hear that this is predicted to be the last megatall building. I work here and I want to see more beautiful skyscrapers.

    Skyscrapers will continue to be built. They are iconic and often define cities and I think people gravitate to tall buildings. There is something awe-inspiring about them.

    Very impressive building but I hope it will not be the last. All the ones whose construction began should be completed. Bravo B1M!

    I never really see it being said but god damn the music in these vids is great. I don’t even know why but it feels so immersive and fits with what I’m hearing/seeing.

    Not too long ago I was a kid looking at the size of the Petronas Towers in the early 2000’s and thinking how this was it, this is as big as these buildings will get.
    Now they are dwarfed in the background of this superstructure... it’s just baffling!

    Fun fact: the spire will have the tallest observation deck in the world at around 610 meters and there is a possibility that might there be even VERY expensive luxurious that the rich might even live there or a 5+ star hotels so very rich tourists can stay :D
