About this audio guide
This guide to the Sky Deck at KL Tower in Kuala Lumpur starts with a hundred-year-old jelutong tree standing exactly where engineers planned to build in the early 1990s, and the costly decision to redesign around it rather than cut it down. It follows Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's 1991 groundbreaking and the record-setting concrete pour that formed the tower's foundation without driving a single pile into the ground. The jelutong still grows near the entrance to the lifts.
