Reasons why we need Menara Warisan

There have been various protest about the 100-storey building. I think people fail to see why we really need a tall building. There are many benefits:

1. Tree replacement program. Now that KL city via DBKL has got rid of lots of trees, we still need some shade. What better way than to build a mega structure to provide relief from the hot sun? The shadows will be long and it will benefit many, including some poor squatters.
   
   
2. Flood relief centre. This would be the ideal place for flood victims. The tall tower will be well above the flood waters unless it is of biblical proportions. Flood victims will no longer need to climb above their roofs or cling to trees when it floods. Just climb up Menara Warisan. One can sit there, enjoy the view while awaiting for the floods to subside.
   
   
3. Parking. Yup, believe it or not, Menara Warisan will provide tonnes of parking space to the ever congested city. How? Menara Warisan is not reachable by rail. So, it will start to turn all roads around the Menara Warisan to one large parking bay. Cars will be there for hours before they need to move along. What more? It is free. No need to pay RM 3.50 per hour. Just park your car there and walk the rest of the way. In addition, some areas will just be good as a covered car-park when Menara Warisan cast its shadows on the raped planet.
   
   
4. Malaysian culture. Yes - Menara Warisan is meant to preserve our culture. If you have noticed, it is right next to VI - or Victorian Institute, one of the more prestigious schools of the past era. How on earth can the Melayu Tuans have a VI around? So, there is a need to drive VI out. If such a massive construction work does not drive them out, I am not sure what will. The government is no longer to acquire land by force, as it could turn out to be ugly. So, just drive them out naturally. In an unrelated incident, some of Malaysian's brightest students have fled to Singapore to avoid the pollution from an unnamed mega project.
   
   
5. MACC HQ. The new Menara Warisan could also double up as a MACC head office. It would be highly interesting to see MACC occupying the highest floor of the building. This way, using strong binoculars, MACC officers could keep an eye on many streets to watch up for police officers offering "on the spot settlement" to motorist. MACC hopes to work out a business proposition on profit sharing on this lucrative yet efficient "on-the-spot settlement". MACC could also inform the police when a traffic offence takes place, helping both parties to increase revenue from traffic offenders.
   
   
6. No Autopsy Cost. With MACC on the top floor, bodies of unfortunate witnesses could be thrown out, sorry, I mean suicide, ... more efficiently. MACC "suicide victims" could enjoy a clear view of KL before taking the final plunge. MACC hopes that the atmospheric friction will burn up the body. In any case, any remains will just be a red stain on the background, avoiding the long drawn controversies seen in the Teoh Beng Hock case. This will also eliminate the need to bring in foreign experts to perform autopsies, thus saving the public purse from unnecessary funds outflow to UK and Thailand.

These are the only few key benefits that I could think of. I am sure there are many more. Do leave your comments to add to the list here. Let's support a mega project.
