Twin Towers


The giants of KL; the twin towers, stand as guardians of a proud nation, which has gone through so much, to show the world that they are still here standing strong & will continue to do so.
My first overseas trip was to Malaysia via Singapore. The very first visit of which was to the Petronas twin towers. I was very curious to see the building which is synonymous with the country that I was visiting. Whilst waiting in line to use our passes we waited with many other nationals & Malaysians who were very eager to share their snacks along with information on the best places to visit, best bargain shopping malls, etc,.. Along with the varied other visitors we made our way up to the famed Sky Bridge where I had to literally hold my breath, at the awe inspiring view. It truly was a spectacular view which showcased Malaysia’s growth technological advancement, through the high rise buildings, religion art heritage through its beautiful mosques & landmarks and dotted with multicultural people who are friendly as well as proud of their heritage & country.
Through the successful emergence from a financial crisis Malaysia has gone from near ruin, to a developed nation akin to a phoenix rising from the ashes, the twin towers symbolizes the strength of the nation & its people. Petronas has truly created a landmark that represent Malaysia.
