World's second tallest building tops out in Malaysia [cnn.com]:

Set in a historic part of Kuala Lumpur, the skyscraper overlooks the Stadium Merdeka, where former leader Tunku Abdul Rahman declared Malaysian independence in 1957. Ismail Sabri, who was named prime minister in August, said on Tuesday that the sculptural design "reflects the image" of Rahman famously raising his hand to shout "merdeka!" (Malay for "independent!") more than six decades ago.
