KL: Did you know? II
Did you know that on 8 August 1995, the lifting of skybridge was halted for few hours due to bad weather condition? The storm struck in the evening and the wind was so strong that the engineers worried the lifting cables would sway and snap in the wind.
It was lifted to its final position at the 41st and 42nd levels of the PETRONAS Twin Towers on 9 August 1995 after grueling 32 hours.
The skybridge was not part of the KLCC initial design. It was added later to facilitate an escape route between the Petronas Twin Towers.

KL: Did You Know? I
Did you know that if you follow the main road and keep right after the Sungai Besi Toll (from South), you’ll end up back at the Sungai Besi Toll? Just remember the ribbon-shaped route illustrated above and you’re good to go.
If you are just driving-through without the intention of stopping by anywhere, this route is the best for you. You’ll see some of the main landmarks of Kuala Lumpur. If by accident you entered the Smart Tunnel, no worries, you are still on the right track. Just keep right.
Tips by my husband, actually 😀
