Abstract

Malaysia has completed the tower spire of the Merdeka 118 building, which is set to become the world's second-tallest skyscraper. The tower will reach a height of 678.9 meters when completed in 2022, making it the tallest structure after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The project is seen as an economic catalyst for Kuala Lumpur, although it has faced criticism on social media for being unnecessary during a time of economic recovery. The Merdeka 118 project, valued at $1.2 billion, will open to the public in the final quarter of 2022 and will feature a hotel, observation deck, mall, museum, and mosque.
