SHAH ALAM: i-City, Malaysia’s premier digital city, has unveiled SkyCity Tower, the country’s highest glass water slide standing at 60 metres.
This new attraction, coupled with the existing tourism products in i-City, is expected to play a crucial role in the success of Visit Selangor 2025 by drawing about five million local and international tourists next year, said Tengku Datuk Seri Ahmad Shah Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, chairman of i-City Selangor.

Tengku Ahmad Shah said that i-City has a long-standing reputation for being at the forefront of urban development and tourism in Selangor.
He noted that i-City plays a vital role in supporting the tourism industry through leisure and hospitality activities that reflect a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
Today, i-City serves as a hub where local businesses can thrive, benefiting from the influx of tourists and the vibrant economy it supports. The One Shah Alam, One Destination initiative launched last year is a clear demonstration of our commitment to supporting the local tourism industry.
“It showcases the best of Shah Alam in one destination, and SkyCity will continue the impact of this programme for the local tourism industry,” he said.
Recognised by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture Malaysia as a prime destination for both international and local tourists, i-City consistently provides unique and memorable experiences to visitors worldwide, he said during the ground-breaking ceremony of SkyCity Tower today.
The event was officiated by Selangor Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
Tengku Ahmad Shah said that the 60-metre SkyCity tower, featuring a 600-meter glass slide, will soon become a distinctive feature of Shah Alam’s skyline.
