		<description><![CDATA[The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur were once the world&#8217;s tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004. The twin towers were designed by architect César Pelli and were completed in 1998. They became the tallest buildings in the world on the date of completion. The 88-floor building were constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art. Because of the depth of the bedrock, the buildings were built on the world&#8217;s deepest foundations. The Sky Bridge The modern and high tech twin towers buildings also incorporated contemporary Malaysian motifs, adapted from traditional handiwork such as the songket and timber carvings that are beautifully featured at the tower&#8217;s entrance. These motifs, fashioned in wood and mosaic, blend well with the overall interior, incorporating Malaysian heritage to the reception areas of Towers One and Two. The Petronas Twin Towers house the corporate headquarters of the national petroleum corporation, Petronas, other corporations and the entire Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) development. They are linked by a skybridge at the 41st and 42nd floors. The skybridge provides a superb view of the Kuala Lumpur surroundings. The Petronas Twin Towers skybridge is 170m high and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Parliament Building Kuala Lumpur is a building that truly symbolises the democratic system in Malaysia. Built in September 1962, the building cost RM18 million and was the brainchild of Malaysia&#8217;s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman.The building is located near the Lake Gardens, just right next to the Malaysian national monument, the Tugu Negara. The building complex consists of two parts: the main building, which is a three-storey building, and its 18-storey tower annexe. Within the building are two national assembly halls: the Dewan Rakyat (Parliament) and Dewan Negara (Senate). Although the designs of the two halls are the same, the smaller Dewan Negara has nice stained glass windows with traditional Islamic motifs. The Parliament Building Kuala Lumpur is unique because it is covered by heat and light-absorbing glass. The most expressive part of the building is the precast concrete panelling that envelopes the 18-storey tower block. The concrete carved ornamental patterns or kerawang control the amount of sunlight entering the building. It was installed piece by piece. Not only is the kerawang useful in the building&#8217;s environmental control, but it also adds grandeur to Parliament House. How to get to the Parliament Building The public may not enter [...]]]></description>
