Many of you may not have heard of The Linc KL. It’s a brand new retail destination that offers a different atmosphere than other malls.
During yesterday’s media event, we were introduced to a brand new art installation. As the host said, certain things in The Linc cannot be expressed in words, one has to experience it in person. Let’s take a look at 8 Instagrammable spots in the venue that are worth checking out:
