Affiliated to The TOP, but under a separate management is Tech Dome Penang. As part of the rejuvenation of Komtar, the height of Komtar Tower was increased from 65 floors to 68 floors.
The revitalisation of Komtar is undertaken by Only World Group Holdings Sdn Bhd, the company behind Sunway Lagoon and many other theme parks in the world.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
