How much did Tun Mustapha Tower cost to build?

Tun Mustapha Tower (Menara Tun Mustapha) is a 30-storey, 122 m glass office tower in Likas, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, built by the Japanese developer Mori Building for the Sabah Foundation (Yayasan Sabah) and opened in 1977. It is a 72-sided polygon clad with 2,160 reflective glass panels, has a central core with steel brackets carrying each floor, 18 elevators and a revolving floor, and was designed by James Ferrie and Partners. Wikipedia gives the cost as RM 38 million (about USD 20 million) without a source, so the figure is unconfirmed.
