Malaysia Shuts Down Balaji Srinivasan’s Network School

The government of Malaysia has officially revoked the operating license for the Network School. This project, which was founded by prominent tech investor Balaji Srinivasan, functioned as a digital nomad commune based in Forest City. Officials ordered the organization to cease all operations by July 22.

This decision marks a sudden end to an ambitious experiment that aimed to create a hub for international remote workers and crypto enthusiasts. The commune focused on building a community based around shared interests in technology and digital residency models.

For now, the focus shifts to how the remaining community members will manage the transition and what this means for other similar projects in the region. Investors and community participants will be watching to see if there are further official statements regarding the future of the Forest City site.
