Petronas Twin Tower - Malaysia - Singapore
#5

The triangle that symbolises the skybridge acts like a fulcrum that perfectly balances Malaysia's past and future, local values and global outlook, multi-cultural background and united 1Malaysia concept. With an upward-pointing arrow to depict growth and progress, the triangle also symbolises the Twin Towers' ideal location at the heart of the Kuala Lumpur golden triangle.

The sky bridge contract was completed by Kukdong Engineering & Construction. Tower 2 (Samsung C&T) became the first to reach the world's tallest building at the time. However, when the structure reached about 72nd floor, Tower 1 (Hazama Corporation) ran into problems.They discovered the structure was leaning 25 millimetres (0.98 in) off of vertical. To correct the lean, the next 16 floors were slanted back 20 millimetres (0.79 in) .
