In the developing world, many cities such as KL have only started to modernize after the invention of the automobile which led to mass road construction with pedestrian facilities and public transport being left as an after thought.

If the footprint of these tall buildings was much larger they could space the elevators farther apart. That would necessitate more walking but people need the exercise. Making a building so tall and narrow is just stupid. Especially when there are so many together like in Manhattan. A big problem is always natural light. It sure would help if we could somehow figure out how to generate light that really seems natural. It's been a dismal fail so far but hopefully in the future we'll have a breakthrough. Then we won't need windows. And that will give architects a whole new freedom, especially for residential.

Malaysia is very good at bending the rules. The same incident happened back in late 90's with the Petronas Twin Towers. At that time, the Petronas Twin Towers was considered as the tallest tower in the world. However, Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower) in Chicago had more than 100 floors, more than Petronas (only 88 floors) and was taller if its height included the the tip of the communication antennas installed at the top of the tower. But the Petronas Twin Towers' spires was much taller and is not a communication antenna, but an aesthetic part of the building. Therefore, the Petronas Twin Towers won the title of the tallest tower in the world (1998 to 2004).

Very interesting video. One statement made at the beginning is misleading, however. While it is, strictly speaking, correct to say that M118 as a whole is the world's second-tallest building, this is due to its absurdly tall spire. The relevant metric when talking about elevators would be highest occupiable floor height. This makes M118 the fifth-tallest building in existence. Still quite an accomplishment, but not exactly the same. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the elevator systems in use in the top 10 supertall skyscrapers (measured by occupiable floor height) to see what has been tried out and what is being learned from different approaches.

It’s easy to overshoot the local office demand and over supply, leading to higher vacancies, thus making the building unable to recoup its investment in a reasonable timeframe.

I feel like that spire is sort of cheating. Without it, it would be like the fifth tallest. Still impressive though.

For your information, Kuala Lumpur exposed with common lightning strikes and thunderstorms every year. Which is why most malaysian tall buildings have spires to prevent lightning strikes to the ground or open places

And that thin tower at the building is 160m itself which is itself a Skyscraper, As any building from 150m is called skyscraper

Yeah the spire only is a skyscraper but it doesn't count because it's not 50% habitable, so the whole building + spire is the skyscraper because it has more than 50% habitable

How much of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, is just a long inaccessible needle on top? By ratio, it’s the same as this Merdeka tower, but the difference is that Merdeka’s needle is actually accessible to visitors with small decks for observation.

-using imperial unit to explain a malaysian skycraper is a joke - he's not explaining sky lobby concept on express elevator. - the information ain't well explained by this guy. Like : How come testing the comfort merely with a coin test ? without explaining the real deal of high speed elevator feature : acceleration and safety.
