 * KOMTAR Year 2016 April.jpg

Serious rewriting.
We need rewriting, a reposition of the sections, and integrate the chronology (the table) into the main article. KOMTAR is itself a complex, not the skyscraper, so simply referring KOMTAR as the KOMTAR Tower for its main headline is not suitable. I'll be trying to see what could I do, possibly a rewrite in the future.

We need images for the skyscraper though, the old ones are outdated, and the current image does not put a lot of focus on the building (the fireworks acts as a distraction).

UPDATE: User:PenangLion/sandbox IN THE SANDBOX CONTAINS A DRAFT FOR A POSSIBLE REVAMP OF THE PAGE (PenangLion (talk) 09:15, 8 October 2021 (UTC))

Update (2): I am ranking this page as a High-importance article for WikiSkyscrapers. Reasons are as such: - Tallest skyscraper in Malaysia (1985-1987);

- First skyscraper in Malaysia to surpass 200 m;

- Cultural icon of Penang;

- Was among the tallest buildings outside the Western Hemisphere (2nd in 1985-1986, 3rd in 1986-1987);

- Important statement of Modernism in Malaysian architecture (Asian architecture would probably be an overstatement);

- First urban complex in Penang;

- Last project related to Buckminster Fuller in Southeast Asia.

If you have any concerns, please do reply to me, then we can make a change again. (PenangLion (talk) 16:39, 8 October 2021 (UTC))
