In preparation for our launch, we’ve been blessed with a team of passionate community volunteers from Southern Volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to clean, repair, and prep the space. Their spirit is the heartbeat of The Kolong — a reminder that true transformation starts from the ground up. 

We collaborate with local graffiti and street artists to breathe life into our walls. By offering free space to showcase their creativity, we honour talent that is often overlooked — turning blank walls into bold stories and reclaiming space through art. 

At The Kolong, sustainability is woven into every detail. Many of our structures are crafted from recycled wood and salvaged materials. This approach not only minimizes waste but also gives the space its distinctive character: unpolished, sincere, and deeply rooted in the values that define our project. 

We provide subsidized booth spaces to: Persons with disabilities and Youth starting their first micro-business. Everyone deserves a chance to thrive — The Kolong is their starting line.  

Design Diversity is our strength. We celebrate multiculturalism through themed nights, performances, and food that reflect Malaysia’s colourful roots. Our space is designed to be accessible and welcoming — regardless of where you are from #friendsstarthere
