Contrary to popular belief, Kampung Seri Menanti is not situated in Negri Sembilan Darul Khusus even though it bears a similar name to a village in Negri Sembilan. This village is actually situated in the state of Johore. Kampung Seri Menanti can easily be reached as it is next to the primary road which connects the towns of Muar and Batu Pahat heading towards Johor Baharu. Muar, dubbed as Bandar Maharani, was once connected using ferries or charted skiffs going via Sungai Muar.


Tourism Farming and Plantation

In fact, the national history and some local legends are associated with Sungai Muar and several other interesting places. Tourists can take a boat ride from Tanjung Emas Jetty going along Sungai Muar to Bukit Kepong to view the historical remains along the river. The unforgettable incident where Bukit Kepong was ambushed by communists still lingered in the villagers’ mind.

The agricultural activity in Kampung Seri Menanti is more focused towards oil palm plantation. Although there are a few rubber plantations, the number has dwindled. About 30 hectares of land in Kampung Seri Menanti are planted with oil palm. The increase in the oil palm prices has encouraged these villagers to be involved in the oil palm industry.
