Crypto boss eyes 2nd act after collapse of Network School

Forest City, a man-made island in Johor, Malaysia, has faced challenges in realizing its vision as a futuristic metropolis. Now, a Malaysian crypto investor, Jeff Yew, is considering revitalizing the vacant campus once occupied by Balaji Srinivasan's Network School, which recently collapsed. Yew, who previously headed Binance Australia, plans to establish his own technology campus at Forest City, aiming to inject a Malaysian perspective into the project.

This initiative could breathe new life into the underperforming development and contribute to Malaysia's broader strategy of building a technology economy beyond data centers.
