Seri Kembangan
Seri Kembangan, formerly known as Serdang New Village, is a town located in Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia. The town is now a considerable city in size. It is located near the northern end of the PLUS Expressway Southern Route . History Seri Kembangan was established as the Serdang New Village in 1950 when the British moved Malaysian Chinese villagers living around Sungai Besi to a centralised location due to the Communist threat during the Malayan Emergency as part of the Briggs Plan. In its early days, the village had 50 houses and all were built from scratch because the British only provided empty plots of land.

At one point, the Seri Kembangan New Village was known for cottage industries like shoe-making and type settings services but this has been overtaken by more profitable ventures. Th ...

Unlike his female consort, , there are very few remaining legends about . The basic purpose of his existence is to periodically join with in the mountains to generate the storms. In one myth seduces a Scottish princess in the village of Mundaka to father the mythical first Lord of Biscay, ''Jaun Zuria''. This legend is believed to be a fabrication made to legitimize the Lordship of Biscay as a separate state from Navarre, because there is no historical account of such a lord. Only the fact that the delegates of Mundaka were attributed with the formal privilege of being the first to vote in the (Parliament) of the province may look as unlikely indication of the partial veracity of this legend. Etymology The name is derived from (serpent) and (male), thus "male serpent". The suggestions of a formation based ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
