This research is intended to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on social, economic, and overall wellness of the community, particularly in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur. The shift in working and academic landscape significantly accelerated by the pandemic with the adoption of work-from-home, online learning, and remote working to prevent the spread of virus, with the implementation of strict lockdowns, social distancing, and closure of businesses operation. However, the prolonged effects of the pandemic in Malaysia which lasted for more than two years, has led to negative connotations in their socioeconomic and overall well-being, due to various factors towards the working community and higher education students in Malaysia. As the nation rushes towards recovery, it is crucial to address the issue of the working community in minimizing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their socioeconomic status and overall well-being. This research intended to shed some light in addressing multifaceted approaches to be implemented in creating a sustainable path forward and building a more resilient and thriving community.
