Hijas Kasturi (PNB,Tabung Haji, Maybank - UGH!)

Ken Yeang (Mesiniaga -UGH)

Veritas is ok - their PWC building in Sentral not bad but I think the Binjai Tower could be more world class looking given its location.

Where is Cesar Pelli? And why no Japanese firms? No Kenzo Tange?Their skyscrapers can be quite awesome.

If i m not mistaken.. To practice in Malaysia, an architect firm must be registered with Persatuan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM). Foreign firm can be a design consultant with local firm as a submitting architect.
