Let's take a closer look at our city.
What is Poskod?
Poskod is an online magazine about city, community and culture based in the Klang Valley. We seek to tell stories from a local perspective, promote grassroots campaigns, and reconnect readers to their neighbourhoods.
We also run an initiative for improved urban living, called BetterKL.
Why is Poskod?
As megacities around the world are taken over by the same chain stores and coffee shops, we at Poskod believe that it is more important than ever to look at what makes our city unique. We believe that the more we know about ourselves and the people around us, the stronger our communities, the easier our participation as citizens in this country, and the better our lives.
