huh..there are actually a lot of highrises at Kuala Lumpur which has over 230 buildings approximately….majority of them clustered in the city region to create a beautiful skyline…

however, at night the buildings are not decorated with colourful lights..a lot of them are just dark and can’t be seen at night..only Petronas twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Tower that are brighten with beautiful lights.

The KL Tower (421m, 15 floors) (1995) – fifth tallest telecomunication tower in the world.
