PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd says it will provide its full support and cooperation to authorities regarding the issue of daredevil climbers who climbed to the top of the Merdeka 118 tower in Kuala Lumpur. 

The company in a statement today stated the Merdeka 118 development is very much a live construction site and safety remains a priority. 

“An investigation is underway. As a private property, any trespassers will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” it said. 

According to news reports yesterday, police are investigating a couple for trespassing, and said both suspects will be called in to have their statements recorded. 

One of them posted photos on a website on December 26, which later went viral on social media and other platforms, showing the climbers at the top of the Merdeka 118, the second-tallest building in the world. – Bernama, December 29, 2022.
