Lonely Planet review for Kompleks Dayabumi

The former headquarters of Petronas, Malaysia's national oil and gas company, the Kompleks Dayabumi was built in 1981 on land formerly occupied by the workshops for the Malayan Railway. The landmark feature here is a tall marble tower, cloaked in delicate fretwork screens. In profile, the tower forms a four-pointed star intersected by a square, a reoccurring symbol in Islamic art. Despite being one of the older buildings in KL, the tower is notable for its clean lines and purity of form.

To get here, walk over the footbridge behind Central Market.
