Highest building in Spore ranked 46th in the world at 280M
-
Should Spore go for height? The highest buildings are at 280m, a far cry from the world tallest building of 509m. The height limit is restricting the growth of skyscrappers of respectable height that stand tall to major cities. Comments, comments !

no.. its not gonna roll in income.. just waste of taxpayers money.
besides, all singapore has achieved on the majority are things like...
most people brushing teeth at same time..
most people lined up at the beach holding hands.. how lame is that. just take a look at guinness world records -
does singapore really need another 1st? And so what if we get it? it will just be replaced with some taller building somewhere within a few years at best.

ok what nothing wrong what.
More higher buildings means the 99% coverage by singtel will slowly inch towards the 98.3% mark. -
