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.",
