Hmm, yeah you're right. They completely forgot that that's only up to the 102nd floor. When the mast and antennae is included, it's actually almost as tall as the Petronas Towers.
But of course, antennas don't count, even though they look almost the same as spires.

What can you expect from countries run by kings and emirs. After all, a king must have his castle, and his mega yachts, planes, and his ego fulfilled. If this is built, my view of this country will be even lower than it already is. Have fun!
