As the new year unfolded, another massive landmark was unveiled in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 6, which the government hoped could be a star attraction to the tourists who come visiting during this Visit Malaysia Year.

The Eye on Malaysia is a 60-metre high ferris wheel located along the lake in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa in the capital city. Modelled after the London Eye, the local version came at a cost of RM30 million to set up.
