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.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
