Inaccurate ranking by VERY outdated DATA (as long as they are using DATA from Emporis.com)

Especially, No. Buildings over 90 m of many cities are quite inaccurate.
Some cities just abridged No. Buildings because of inactive editor.

BTW, since when the height of republic Plaza in Singapore, the highest building in Singapore become 295m? Breaking sky restriction of Singapore newly?
I thought its just wrong typing simply at first
But linking site also did the same mistake?the same mistake in the Source? (http://homepages.ipact.nl/~egram/skylines.html)
It's just show how inaccrate this source is.

Although I agree with skyscrapercity that the source is a little awkard, I generally agree with the cities appearring in the ranking.

IMO,though, I'd rank Singapore, Dubai and KL at 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Shanghai should be at 5 in this category. Tokyo, Bangkok and Seoul deserve to be in top ten but at the lower rank, imo. I would put Manila instead of Chongqing.

HK, Singapore, Dubai, KL, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Manila, Bangkok, Shenzhen

something along this line.

based on atom's posting, I think this forum should be titled Asia's best SKYSCRAPER, because he based it on tallest buildings instead skylines.
I don't mean anything bad, it's just my opinion.
