We wish to apologize for the changes on the event. We seek your utmost support and understanding on this matter and that we are working to ensure everything runs smoothly for this year’s event. We appreciate your contributions (photos, footages and video links of great coverage on BASE Jump in Malaysia) given to us in taking this event to greater heights!

Thank you.

A Little Announcement

Dear All,

KL Tower is currently undergoing a major ‘overhaul’ in our management. Our company is being re-organized and structured to better enhance our revenue and services to customers. In so doing, most procedures and products are being examined and strategized to bring optimum outcome. This has resulted in several events such as the KL Tower International Jump Malaysia (KLTIJM) facing some challenges. KLTIJM which would have celebrated its 10 year anniversary this year, is right back to its infancy stage where we have plenty of convincing to do instead of taking it to greater heights. We, at the Public Relations & Event Department can reassure you that we are fighting and doing our best to retain KLTIJM in the KL Tower Calendar of Events this year.

Hence, we would really appreciate your support to help us fight for the survival of KLTIJM. Please send in your testimonials/ pictures/ videos/ newspaper articles etc that we could compile to strengthen our case study to the management in order to keep KLTIJM going.

On the same note, we hereby regretfully confirming that the Petronas Twin Towers will not be included in the tour this year. Therefore, please hold on to all of your flight bookings pending on the management's confirmation.

We seek your understanding and your utmost support during this trying time.

Thank you.

From,

All of us at PR & Event Department, KL Tower, Malaysia.
