Malaysians especially those in Kuala Lumpur would have been shocked by the news about Alain Robert ‘The Spiderman’. Why? Because he climbed the Petronas Towers or the KLCC building on last Tuesday September 1st 2009.
Many people argue why did we detain him as he gave the free publicity to Malaysia without asking even for 1 cent from Malaysian government.
Robert or his full name, Alain Robert Phillipe, 47 is a French and even the French government regards him as disabled etc. He started to climb at the of 12 and since then he has climbed 85 buildings around the world including the skyscrapers like Empire State Building in New York (1,250 feet), Sears Tower in Chicago (1,453 feet), Taipei 101, Taiwan (1,667 feet) and Jin Mao in Shanghai, China (1,378 feet).
Most of the climbing he did were done without consent and these made him to be detained for intrusion charges.
When the Petronas Towers in construction was fully completed in the late 90, Robert and this building got the world’s attention as the Petronas Twin Tower in Kuala Lumpur was the world’s highest building then.
in 1997, a year before that towers were officially open, he climbed to the level 60 of that building without being noticed. Read more on Alain Robert The Spiderman Climbs The Petronas Towers…
