An old Wishing tree entangled with red ribbons for you to offer your wishes to loved ones; Seri Kembangan (Serdang) New Village was created during the Malayan Emergency against the communist threat under the British's Briggs Plan in 1952. Some 15,000 Chinese villagers living in Sungei Besi area were relocated here & they had to build their homes from scratch as the British only provided empty plots of land ....  a new life & a new beginning  !

So put on your walking shoes & wake up early & start a morning walk near your neighbourhood area - an "Ox-citing" day awaits you !
