Seri
Kembangan, formerly known as Serdang New Village, is a town located in Selangor,
Malaysia.
Seri
Kembangan was established as the Serdang New Village in 1952 when the
British moved Malaysian Chinese villagers living around Sungai Besi to a
centralised location due to the Communist threat during the Malayan
Emergency following the Briggs Plan.
At one
point, the Seri Kembangan New Village was known for cottage industries
like shoe-making but this has been overtaken by more profitable ventures.
More
developments took place in between 2000–2008 and other prominent
developments includes AEON Equine Park, McDonald's, Pasar Borong Selangor
(wholesale market), Pappa Rich Kopitiam, Station 1 cafe, Boston Concept
Restaurant, House of Healin Equine, Maybank, Giant Hypermarket and other
businesses transformed this area into a business hub.
A network of roads forms the 13 sections of the village and
commercialisation has come to this area in a big way.
