Tallest skyscraper nears completion
The 101-storey structure which includes a mall, office space and an observatory will not formally open until next year in east Taipei. The building stands more than 165ft higher than the world's former highest skyscraper, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Wearing a white hard hat, Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou marked the event with a small group of engineers, developers and government officials on an observation deck on the 91st floor.
