There is a double whammy here as well. 

Firstly there are too many new empty buildings coming into the market in KL.

There is already an oversupply situation in KL.

Then secondly business is slowing down tremendously.

There are few new businesses or new business expansion to take up office space, especially all the new buildings that are coming on stream.

New building owners in KL are going to lose their pants and their underwear. 

Unless the next elections are held this year and MO1 is kicked out.

If the general elections are held next year, KL building owners may not survive by that time.

If MO1 is not kicked out, the new building owners will certainly die.

Bankruptcies will become exponential.

The whole country is just grinding down to a halt.
