IHAFI have a friend

About IHAF

We started with one simple idea.

Where strangers become friends.

IHAF — I Have A Friend — is a Kuala Lumpur social lifestyle community. Meeting new people should feel natural, meaningful, and fun.

We create real-life experiences where people meet new faces, share a moment, and slowly grow actual friendships.

Activities are the starting point. Connection is the real purpose.

The shift

From hosting events to creating connections.

What we believe

Connection shouldn’t be complicated.

  1. 01

    Strangers are just friends who haven’t met yet.

  2. 02

    A drink, a game, a meal, or a run can become the beginning of a friendship.

  3. 03

    Activities are the starting point, not the destination.

  4. 04

    The best communities are not built for people. They are built with people.

The journey

Chapter one, then chapter two.

    Chapter one ended

    After more than a year of experimenting, learning, and building, IHAF 1.0 took a break.

    “This isn’t the end. It’s simply the end of chapter one.”

  4. 1 Oct 2026

    Chapter two begins

    IHAF 2.0 is more than a calendar of events. Members join events and create them, join communities and build them, meet people, and make the connection themselves.

The next chapter

Chapter two starts here.
