This may not involve the BP's Oil disaster but it illustrates how grandiose projects are being suddenly pushed forward, all in preparation for the coming snap election. Vested political and business interests precede sound geological judgement. Another man-made disaster in the making?
Malaysia do not need another 100 storey building to put it ahead of Taipei's 101, Shanghai World Financial Centre and Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
The KL Limestone formation beneath the top alluvial cover, is highly fractured and faulted with full of underground caverns and pinnacled topography. This is no place to build the tallest building in the world.
Just as BP could not have chosen a more dangerous Macondo well location to drill into an unforgiving Oil Disaster, Kuala Lumpur especially in the vicinity of the friable unpredictable geological contact zone between the KL Limestone Formation and the Kenny Hill Formation, could not be more suitable for the world's tallest disaster. Come to think of it, the World's Tallest Leaning Tower may be a feat difficult to upstage.
