Quote Taken from Tun Mahathir's Speech at the Opening of PETRONAS Twin Towers

"As an internationally recognised landmark, the PETRONAS Twin Towers are a national pride to the people of Malaysia. Indeed they stand out prominently against the skyline of Kuala Lumpur to symbolise courage, ingenuity, initiative, and determination, energy, confidence, optimism, advancement and zest of a nation that will bring worldwide recognition and respect to all Malaysians. This is vital for Malaysia as a relatively small nation to compete effectively among the bigger global players in the international arena."

Tun Mahathir Mohamad,

Fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia

August 31, 1999
