Ownership of The Icon Tun Razak

So finally the club's Facebook page is up.

Anyway here's what I've found out about the building known as The Icon.

Although it appears as a single building, it's actually split into two wings. The East Wing is the half with the Samsung sign at the top. The West Wing displays the Huawei and Top Glove signs.

The West Wing, towards KLCC, has been owned since 2007 by Koperasi Permodalan Felda, while the East Wing facing Ampang was bought by Top Glove in March 2013. Interestingly, Top Glove's ownership includes the rooftop/penthouse level of both wings.

I assume Top Glove were not aware of the previous tenant i-CLUB and its shenanigans, and were likewise unaware of the pitiful lack of soundproofing of the unit. One hopes that they are a responsible and reasonable owner, and that they will step up and do what's right.

Meanwhile, thumping bass in the early hours (3am!) of Friday 10 Jan caused even the buildings further away to complain. The bass did not die down until just before 4am.
