Seri Kembangan

Seri Kembangan is a suburban town in Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia, located between Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya and near the northern end of the PLUS Expressway Southern Route. Its history begins with Serdang New Village, the first settlement here, established in 1950 when the British moved Malaysian Chinese villagers from around Sungai Besi to one centralised site under the Briggs Plan during the Malayan Emergency. The early inhabitants were mostly mining workers and rubber tappers, and the village was for a time known for cottage industries such as shoe-making and typesetting services. After the 1998 Commonwealth Games, development picked up from 2000 onwards, bringing a wholesale market, supermarkets and other businesses that turned the area into a business hub. Seri Kembangan has a tropical rainforest climate, warm and sunny with abundant rainfall, especially in the northeast monsoon season from October to March.
