The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission arrested two senior managers to assist in the investigation of the takeover of the KL Tower concession.
The government owns KL Tower, but the operations and maintenance of the building have been handled on contract by Telekom Malaysia subsidiary, Menara Kuala Lumpur Sdn Bhd , since 1996. However, it was recently made known that the building had been sold to an unknown company called Hydroshoppe Sdn Bhd.
