100 storey Warisan Merdeka in KL?

The government claims that the fund to build this 100 storey building is not from the public fund. This project was proposed by the government to boost the economy of the country in an aim to become a high income nation. There are many people reject the project as they claimed that it is just a wasteful of money. So, this RM5bil project will be developed by the Pemodalan National Berhad (PNB) in the 10 year time. The project will includes shopping complex, condominiums and the most talk about 100 storey supertall building.

As a skyscraper ethusiast, it will be very nice to see an addition of another supertall building in our own yard. I strongly believe that it can gives us benefits just like KLCC. KLCC project was once rejected by many but today it stand out as a pride of Malaysia. This kind of pretigious project can boost the surrounding area and also it change the skyline of the city as well. But most importantly, feasibility study is the most important one to ensure that it can really provide such a benefits before the project is carry on. All the benefits and weaknesses have to be studied as it involves such a big sum of money.
