Taman Seri Serdang flood follow-up: two drainage problems identified

Seri Serdang assemblyman Abbas Azmi told Media Selangor that an inspection found two problems: narrow openings in the wall along the main drain and blocked drains. During heavy rain, these can slow the flow of water and contribute to flooding around homes.

The report describes the findings of the inspection and the wall upgrade then under way. It does not confirm that repairs have finished. Check official flood and weather updates before using affected roads during heavy rain.

Flash floods hit Jalan SK 6/1 and Jalan Kuyoh

A downpour on the afternoon of 2 November caused flash floods in several parts of the Klang Valley. At about 3.20pm, the Serdang New Village chief told StarMetro that Jalan SK 6/1 and Jalan Kuyoh were under water and vehicles were struggling to pass.

The Star cited the Drainage and Irrigation Department’s reading of 73.5 mm of rain in Seri Kembangan. The report did not give a reopening time for either road. Check current flood and traffic updates before travelling during another heavy downpour.

Serdang celebrates the Year of the Horse with local designs

Ahead of Lunar New Year in 2026, Seri Kembangan assembly representative Wong Siew Ki’s team prepared 8,000 sets of Serdang-themed red packets. Wong and Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin handed them out at the Serdang People’s Market and the temporary New Village market on 31 January.

The six designs fit together into one illustration. Tied to a local New Year song, they feature familiar parts of Serdang life such as Hakka food, the Kuyoh river area and the village scenery, giving visitors a small introduction to the town.

OUR HERITAGE

A village reborn

The Malay name Serdang, the old mining town and the new village formed at Old Puchong belong to different chapters of the same area’s history.

01Our story

Local accounts name Kuyoh, the coconut and banana estate settlements, Heng Lo and Prang Besar among the places families came from. Resettlement brought people into one neighbourhood without erasing their earlier ties. Old place names preserve clues to those family and community connections.

Serdang New Village emerged within this resettlement history. Making a home involved more than shelter: children needed schooling, adults needed livelihoods and neighbours needed one another. Houses, schools, shops and local organisations gradually made the settlement a place of belonging.
