A community is built through participation.

How many people live here?

The 2020 census counted 130,252 residents in N.28 Seri Kembangan, including 112,048 Malaysian citizens. The chart groups those citizens by ethnicity. Bumiputera includes Malays and other Bumiputera groups. The 2024 estimate updates the population total but provides no new breakdown by ethnicity.

The constituency covers an area wider than the old new village. The Hakka article’s 72.9% comes from a separate survey of Chinese ancestry and dialect groups in the new village.

Hometown ties · Huizhou, Qingyuan and Shunde

Hometown associations bring together people with roots in the same place. The Seri Kembangan Huizhou Association is a local example. In 2019 its committee, youth wing and women’s section announced a joint installation and fundraiser for activities. The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall also recorded the regional Qingyuan association taking part in its 2024 Serdang liaison meeting. Its directory lists a clubhouse in Taman Serdang Perdana. The regional Shunde association opened a clubhouse in Serdang Raya in 1999, and the Assembly Hall’s women’s section recorded a visit there in 2024. The regional Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Huizhou Association was a guest performer at a Serdang Hakka dinner in 2025.

A dialect association can bring together families from several places. The Seri Kembangan Hakka Association dates to 1999 according to a 2023 field study. It and the local Huizhou association appear as separate organisations in a 2023 account of a meeting with local groups.

Clan ties · from the Yap welfare group to regional networks

Clan associations bring together families through surname and ancestral ties. The Serdang and Balakong Nanyang Yap Clan Association traces its roots to 1953. According to the association’s secretary, Yap families from Serdang New Village, Serdang Lama and Balakong New Village formed a welfare group to help one another. The association received formal registration in 2002 and opened its own building in 2008. The national Yap federation held an installation at the Serdang association’s tenth anniversary in 2011.

Clan ties can also stretch across towns without a separate local branch. The Siow Association of Malaysia’s history records that Siow families from Serdang helped reorganise the Kajang Sungai Chua Lan Ling Tang welfare group in the 1980s.

When associations work together

The Serdang federation of Chinese associations brings different groups to the same table. One example comes from the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Chamber of Commerce, whose records name the federation and the Serdang New Village management committee among the groups involved in a community relief drive.

The Assembly Hall’s Serdang liaison meeting in 2024 illustrates the range of local ties. Participants included both Serdang Baru primary-school alumni associations, the Seri Kembangan Qing Yu Club and the Serdang 4×4 Adventure Club. Alumni keep school connections alive, while clubs bring together people with shared activities and interests.

Trade ties · from shoemaking to neighbourhood markets

A trade association brings together people in a line of work. The Seri Kembangan association for small and medium businesses and the regional Selangor and Kuala Lumpur footwear association both attended the 2024 Serdang liaison meeting. In 2023, local records also named separate hawker groups for the new village morning market and the Serdang People’s Market. These are examples of how businesses and stallholders organise around shared concerns.

Neighbours and faith communities

Residents’ associations and Rukun Tetangga are organised around where people live. Examples around the wider Serdang area include the residents’ association in Section 5 of Taman Bukit Serdang and the Rukun Tetangga centre in Taman Sri Serdang listed in the national unity department’s preschool directory.

Faith groups provide other gathering places. The Serdang Buddhist Association records its registration in 1991 and describes classes for children and families. Masjid Al-Muttaqin in Taman Equine is listed in the national mosque directory. A 2009 Selangor assembly record also names Gereja Kristian Serdang Baru and the Sri Maraghata Vinayagar temple committee in Seri Kembangan.

Before the new village · the Min Han Club

Some associations trace their roots to the mining era. In a research paper presented in 2012, Xu Weixiong dated the Min Han Club to 1937 in Gong Jiao Yuan, near old Serdang. Many early members worked in the mines or rubber estates. Its story offers a glimpse of how workers built social ties before resettlement into the new village.

Local council and public services

MBSJ is the local council referenced in Seri Kembangan community-area records. Use official council channels for municipal matters; this guide is an independent community resource.

From primary to secondary school

Serdang Baru 1, Serdang Baru 2 and SMK Seri Kembangan hold different chapters of local school life. Their beginnings and growth also tell a story about families settling and investing in the next generation. Explore “Schools & growing up” for their individual stories.

Art made with the neighbourhood

Community art activities in 2012 involved pupils, parents and neighbours. Reports describe residents looking for objects to contribute to the folk museum. Local memory grows through telling, collecting and making, giving children another way to understand the place they call home.
