I watch Merdeka PNB 118 everyday on the way to work. Never failed to amaze me even for a single second. It was located right next to the Stadium Merdeka, where our first PM made official declaration of independence.
Note: Merdeka = independence.
Thank you B1M for covering this.

I love it that the videos uploaded are not purposely made to be 10 minutes long (e.g. Bright Side), making every second of the video worth my time. Thanks for the awesome content! 💚

PNB 118 Tower, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia ✨👏🏻

[Aaronaa]

These skyscrapers highlight what peak human engineering is capable of 🙌

The PNB118 will be a great addition to Kuala Lumpur’s already epic skyline. A real shame the Jeddah tower is indefinitely on hold.

The PNB 118 MERDEKA TOWER is the most under-reported and least talked about new buildings...it is massive and soo different with its striking angles of 100% sheer glass. Plus it will overtake the Shanghai Tower as second tallest is a huge achievement..and to all the workers in that major suck humidity and heat..I give a huge shout out to these Laboring construction workers...and when its done, along side the twin Petronas towers, and the newly finished TRK tower which is the highest in KL now until the Merdeka is done. GO MALAYSIA.!!

London and Kuala Lumpur have some unique sets of skyscrapers which make their skyline look great compared to other

[jamslamsam]

Proud Malaysian noises. Incredible videos as always B1M.

[MortyMortyMorty]

Damn Merdeka 118 will look really great!

[royalpillows]

The one in Malaysia looks beautiful! I thought the one in Dubai (Dubai creek tower) is the tallest one under construction in Asia (Surpassing burj khalifa) but at the same time many people said that it isn’t considered a skyscraper... But never the less great content keep it up !

When it comes to KL's Merdeka 118, I understand the sentiment regarding the over 100 meters spire. Here are the explanation...

Actually "Merdeka" means independent.

Back in 1957, at historical Merdeka Stadium next to the tower, Malaysia's first prime minister, "Tunku Abdul Rahman" chanting "Merdeka" 7 times. He raised his right arm almost 180 degree during independent declaration from the British empire.

This image is sentimental to Malaysian history.

Thus the Merdeka tower simply replicate the famous Tunku's standing posture, and the spire replicate his hand raise up to the air while chanting "Merdeka"

Still, even though it's a reasonable justification. I humbly believe that it's also benefit the tower in term of the height. Thus the owner, PNB probably intent that the spire will somehow help the tower to a good ranking when it comes to height.

Juz my humble opinion.
