Mirror, mirror on the wall,  which is the tallest of them all?

Mirror, mirror on the wall,  which is the tallest of them all?

I was driving when I heard about Malaysia being the fourth in the world to have many skyscrapers. So I stopped by the Lake Titiwangsa and took a view of our sky scrapers in Kuala Lumpur.

Yes, Malaysia has a large number of skyscrapers.  Kuala Lumpur is the city with the most skyscrapers in the country and in Southeast Asia. Malaysia ranks fourth globally for the number of completed skyscrapers over 150 meters, behind only China, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates.

Since 2023, Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur has been the tallest skyscraper in Malaysia. It was built with an architectural height of 678.9 metres (2,227 ft). Merdeka 118 contains the tallest observatory installed in a spire and is currently the world’s second tallest building or man-made structure.

Merdeka 118 Tower has been officially recognised as the Best Tall Building (300m and above) by the Council on Vertical Urbanism (CVU), marking a proud milestone for Malaysia on the global stage.

Istana Budaya Kuala Lumpur – Performing Arts Theatre. It has a unique structure.   I attended a few live performances there.
