Four friends are attempting to break harmful gender stereotypes and redefine masculinity by forming The Jantan Collective. Their aim is to make it a platform to encourage men to be open about their emotions, while at the same time educating themselves to become better versions of themselves.

The Collective is a hub for men to learn, have fun and become better versions of themselves, says Khoo.Founder, Khoo Teng Leang, 39, nicknamed the “Chief Jantan”, explained: “The Jantan Collective is basically a hub for all men to learn, have fun and just be better men basically. Here, we want to talk about things that are not commonly talked about.”
