Revisiting The LINC KL on its first anniversary

By Laura Lee

How one part of the new art installation Urban Landscape looks like

The LINC KL’s first birthday bash, with all the VVIPs and guests invited for its celebration on 26 November, might be over but some of its actitivities to reward visitors and shoppers alike with special goodies and opportunities to win prizes are on-going until 19 January 2020.

Under its ‘Spend & Win’ campaign, visitors who spend a minimum of RM100 can redeem an exclusive merchandise or cash voucher from The LINC KL while those with a minimum RM200 spend will get an extra chance to win lifestyle gadgets and home appliances.

Shoppers who have The LINC KL's celebration flyer need only spend RM50 to be entitled for its 'Daily Reward'.

The redemption for its Spend & Win is located on the second level. Next to this redemption area is its neon feature wall for its Snap, Tag & Win Contest.

Don't forget to take part in its Snap, Tag & Win Contest ending also on 19 January. Just take a picture at the neon feature wall at its Event Space on level two, post it on Instagram and tag @thelinckl, #lincturns1 and #thelinckl. 

Described as “a sanctuary of creativity and inspiring art pieces”, The LINC KL unveiled a new art installation, “Urban Landscape” during its first anniversary celebration. 

This latest piece of work was created by PBB Group Berhad (Property Division) Development Planning and Design team in collaboration with Media Signs Sdn Bhd.

Using abstract cut-out cityscape graphic stickers assembled on aluminium composite panels to form three-dimensional effect scenes, it captured the vibrancy of our modern city life while reminiscent of its past.

On other new developments at this nature-inspired retail space in the capital city, The Linc Developmnent Sdn Bhd Chairman Tan Yew Jin said it has been working with Kloth Cares Fabric Recycling Movement to collect unwanted fabrics and textiles.

A customised Kloth Cares bin has been placed on its ground  floor at the main entrance to the Centre Courtyard, where its main Bodhi tree is sited near the carpark. 

Since this initiative started at end-September, The Linc KL has collected over 322 kg of fabrics for recycling.

Tan added that The LINC KL has also converted a commercial space into a cozy book sharing and reading corner where you can donate your pre-loved books in exchange for books left by others. Sounds good.

He also shared about some new tenants like BIFE charcoal steakhouse, where I am tempted to check out its attractive lunch buffet soon. 

Another interesting newcomer is Simpli Dry & Honeypot Wax Boutique, basically a blow dry bar and wax boutique that ladies would love.

Then there is Oasis Urban Farming at The LINC KL’s rooftop, which was supposed to open at end-2019, offering pesticide-free vegetables grown in an environmentally sustainable way.

Learnt that its opening has been delayed due to some technical issues. Will update on this and more after my visit to The Linc KL in 2020!
