On the other side is Abdul Hamid Shaikh, who maintained that MKLSB and its parent Hydroshoppe had been wrongfully terminated. Still, MKLSB continued running KL Tower through multiple short-term extensions, including a final nine-month one until March 31. A few days later, the Ministry of Communications says MKLSB’s occupation of KL Tower after March 31 is “unlawful”. On April 26, KL Tower finally reopened to the public, under LSHSM, after a week of restoration works by the new concession holder. The main lawsuit filed by Abdul Hamid Shaikh’s camp in March this year remains ongoing with trial dates fixed from June 28, 2027 to July 2, 2027.
