KL Tower International BASE Jump Malaysia 2009 took place from 3rd to 25th October.

With the failing of new organisers in the previous year, KL Tower staff fully organised the event themselves this year in a very naive and reckless manner. All event safety information and precautions were eliminated from the event as KL Tower staff had no real understanding of BASE jumping. In a desperation to bring BASE jumpers back to the event entry experience requirements were slashed by a factor of 10. With participants Left unchecked the entry experience requirements literally became zero.

The event was advertised with a few buildings that it was well know Menara KL was not welcome back to after the fiasco the previous year. These buildings were replaced at the last minute with lower buildings that were higher risk.

It included 8 buildings in 6 different states of Malaysia.

• Kompleks Teruntum, Pahang 3rd-4th October
• Felda Residence Hotel, Kuala Terengganu 6th-7th October 2009
• Wisma Darul Iman, Kuala Terengganu 6th-7th October 2009
• Menara Taming Sari, Malacca 11th-12th October
• Menara Alor Setar, Kedah 14th-16th October
• Menara Komtar, Penang 18th October
• Menara Kuala Lumpur 22nd- 25th October
• Menara Telekom Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 25th October

After the scary results the reckless manner the event was organised, very experienced BASE jumpers would warn KL Tower event managers that if they continued to try to organise events in this manner then it would most certainly result in serious injury and death in the near future. These warnings were dismissed by KL Tower staff.

No real statistics are available for the event this year.
