Interactive event space Muar Collectorspace breathes new life into Johor's creative scene

KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — After six years of dreaming about creating a space beyond the city limits of Kuala Lumpur, Romaizie Mustapha finally launched the Muar Collectorspace, which has been in operation since last July.

Initially, Romaizie was thinking of setting the space in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan but he couldn’t find the place that he wanted. “Soon, it will be eligible to be registered in the list of Malaysian Heritage Buildings under the National Heritage Act, 2005. That factor alone is enough to motivate me to take over the management of this building.”

“Muar Collectorspace was developed with the idea of providing an interactive event space that can be used as a venue for young people to share ideas and skills, thus producing business opportunities,” explained Romaizie. Among the initiatives that have already yielded results are new skills training such as food and beverage preparation, especially the 'coffee and latte art' sessions and skateboarding classes for children.
