KUALA LUMPUR – The Kuala Lumpur Tower will be temporarily closed starting today to allow the new management to carry out maintenance and improvement works while ensuring the safety and comfort of visitors.
The Communications Ministry, in a statement last night, said the reopening date for the tower, one of the tallest telecommunications structures in the world, will be announced through various media channels.
“The Madani government, through the Communications Ministry, emphasises that the Kuala Lumpur Tower is government-owned.
“Effective April 1, 2025, the operations, management and maintenance of the Kuala Lumpur Tower have been taken over by LSH Service Master Sdn Bhd (LSHSM),” the statement read.
It also said that the continued occupation of the KL Tower premises by Menara Kuala Lumpur Sdn Bhd (MKLSB) beyond March 31, 2025, was unauthorised.
“Accordingly, the Federal Lands Commissioner has issued two eviction notices to MKLSB via letters dated April 3 and April 9, 2025.
“Therefore, any operations and transactions still being carried out by MKLSB are without government authorisation,” it said.
On March 31, the Communications Ministry, in a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding the KL Tower management concession, said that the concession takeover would not affect the tower’s operations or staff.
The ministry said discussions with the new concessionaire, LSHSM, had outlined terms ensuring that operations would continue as usual. – April 17, 2025
