KL Tower, for some reason

As reported by the NST:

The Kuala Lumpur Tower will be illuminated in Russia's national flag colours to commemorate Russia Day tomorrow (June 12).

It said adorning the seventh-tallest communications tower in the world with their flag colours was a way to continue their tradition to celebrate their national day for their countrymen in Malaysia despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

Russian Embassy staff have been quite good in their public diplomacy efforts. Australian High Commission staff on the other hand, including the High Commissioner , have chosen to lecture, and condescend.
