Welcome to Seri Medan
Seri Medan, a small town in the Batu Pahat District of Johor, Malaysia, holds historical significance for its past bauxite mining activities. Situated near Pekan Parit Sulong, Yong Peng, and Tongkang Pecah, it was once secluded due to its central location, away from major connecting roads.
Geographical Divisions
Seri Medan is divided into areas like Parit Basri Laut, Parit Warijo, Parit Haji Ariff, and Parit Haji Yusof, connected by roads linking to nearby villages such as Parit Laman, Parit Jayus, Ayer Putih, and more.
Historical Filming Location
The town served as a filming location for the movie 'Puteri Gunung Ledang,' shot in Bukit Inas, an area bordering Pekan Pt. Sulong.
Historical Mining and Transformation
Originally known as Ramunia, Seri Medan acquired its current name in 1920, recognized by the Sultan of Johor. Early bauxite mining was initiated by companies like Nanyo Kogyo Koshi (later Ishihara Sangyo) from Japan. These mining operations continued until 1967 and eventually transformed into the Johor Botanical Gardens we know today.
