Community groups, art collectives, heritage activists, and creatives in Kuala Lumpur can now apply for funding to revive the city’s historic heart.

PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd (a subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Berhad) and Think City (a Khazanah Nasional Berhad subsidiary) have launched a new cycle of the Merdeka 118 Community and Kreatif KL Grants Programmes to support this effort.

The grants are part of Warisan KL, an ongoing plan to revitalise old neighbourhoods and public spaces in the capital through art, culture and community initiatives.
