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We need images for the skyscraper though, the old ones are outdated, and the current image does not put a lot of focus on the building (the fireworks acts as a distraction).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 (660 ft);
• - 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.

Article looks good at a glance, I'll have a closer review in a bit. ¹⁴¹Pr -_\contribs/- 15:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

• There is some sandwiching going on in the construction section - there are just a lot of images in general. Consider removing some or grouping them together.
