Tun Mustapha Tower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tun Mustapha Tower (officially known as Menara Tun Mustapha), is the tallest building in Borneo. This 30-storey circular glass sculpture is located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It is named after Tun Datu Mustapha, a former Chief Minister of Sabah. The building used to be known as Sabah Foundation Building (Bangunan Yayasan Sabah). It is home to the '@mosphere' restaurant, which slowly spins to provide a complete view of Likas Harbour. It makes one rotation per hour.

In 1997, urban climber Alain Robert successfully scaled the building together with government approval for a fundraiser.
