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."

The Petronas Twin Towers took 7 years to build. The two towers were built by different companies. Tower 1 was built by a Japanese consortium, while Tower 2 was built by a group of South Korean companies. Interestingly enough, while Tower 1 started construction first, Tower 2 was completed faster.
the towers were designed to symbolise strength and grace using geometric principles modelled in Islamic architecture
Petronas Towers have never been bombed....yet!
The Petronas Twin Towers are located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Not WAS, the Petronas towers are still in existence, or at least were until the news this morning.
