Seri Kembangan (GPS: 3.02199, 101.70554) is a township in Selangor. It is located to the south of Kuala Lumpur, being surrounded by Bandar Baru Sri Petaling to the north, Balakong to the east and Serdang to the south. As with its surrounding areas, Seri Kembangan began as a tin mining settlement. It is home to the largest open cast tin mine - the site of today's MINES Wellness City.
When it was established in 1952, Seri Kembangan was originally called Kampung Baru Serdang, or Serdang New Village, and indeed it can be considered part of Serdang. This was during the Malayan Emergency period, when the Chinese villagers were relocated to contain the threat posed by the Communists. The township has since transformed from a village into an urban area.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
