    WHILE established clubs strive to stay relevant, new private members clubs are testing the waters – though not all have endured.

    Members-only business club Madison Rooms opened at Coleman Street in 2016 but went into liquidation in 2019. The Lo & Behold Group’s Straits Clan at Bukit Pasoh opened in 2018, but was sold to The Mandala Group last year, reopening as the Mandala Club in November.

    Mandala Club has seen membership rise by an average of 10 per cent month-on-month, to over 2,000 members now, said Ben Jones, the club’s co-founder and chief executive (CEO).
