And just like that, we find ourselves in February 2018. The initial drag that was January is now done with, and the pace at work and school is now red hot… before we break for Chinese New Year. With productivity in focus, urban professionals and serious students are always on the lookout for the ideal work environment.
To that end, we’ve compiled a list of some of the spanking new co-working spaces recently opened in the Klang Valley within the past two months, specially for those of you looking for a change of scenery and somewhere new to draw inspiration from.
