Seria (Malay: Pekan Seria; Jawi: ڤكن سريا ; Malay pronunciation: [sǝria] ⓘ) is a town in Belait District, Brunei, about 65 kilometres (40 mi) west from the country's capital Bandar Seri Begawan.[3] The total population was 3,625 in 2016. It was where oil was first struck in Brunei in 1929 and has since become a centre for the country's oil and gas industry. The town's bazaar, officially opened on 19 September 1954, has few retail establishments, fresh food markets, supermarkets, banking services, tourist information centers, and a range of restaurants, including Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and Italian ones as well as outdoor dining in somewhat rustic settings. For processing documentation related to owning a car and hiring domestic helpers (amahs), government offices are located in Kuala Belait.[4]

Name[edit]

The town's name was derived from that of the river near where oil was first discovered in 1929.[5][additional citation(s) needed] In the past, Seria used to be known as Padang Berawa, the local name which has been translated as 'Wild Pigeon's Field', and referred to the area between the Bera and Seria rivers.[6][7] However, the original name has become forgotten today.[7] Berawa is also a word of Indonesian origin, meaning low ground (usually in coastal areas) and flooded with water, usually with lots of aquatic plants, an apt description of what Seria had been in the past. Thus suggesting as well that the original name may have Indonesian or Javanese influence.

Geography[edit]

Seria is located within a mangrove swamp and surrounded by an oil field.[8]

The town has a narrow 5,000 hectares (12,000 acres) coast with the South China Sea. It has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA). As well as open sea, it contains tidal mudflats and sandflats, mangroves and beach forest which support populations of various birds, including Bornean crestless firebacks, grey imperial pigeons, short-toed coucals, lesser adjutants, Chinese egrets, Wallace's hawk-eagles, Malay blue-banded kingfishers, and straw-headed bulbuls.[10]

History[edit]

Aerial view of Seria in the 1950s

The first oil field was discovered by the British Malayan Petroleum Company (BMPC) in 1929,[11] followed by the completion of the first commercial oil well later that same year in Wild Pigeon's Field on the west bank of the Seria River.[6] Production of oil has already began by 1931,[12] while the first export began in 1932.[11]

During World War II, Seria was one of the first places in Borneo invaded by the Imperial Japanese Army.[13] The Japanese Kawaguchi Detachment came ashore on 16 December 1941, nine days after the Attack on Pearl Harbor.[14] Upon the invasion, the oil field was destroyed by the British forces to prevent being captured by the Japanese.[15][16] On 28 April 1945, Seria was attacked by the United States Navy which targeted places in the Asia-Pacific occupied by the Japanese forces.[17] The town was liberated by the Australian forces on 29 June 1945; by the time they arrived in Seria, the oil field was heavily burned and only in November in that year that the production was restored.[18][19] By 1946, the original town had been completely destroyed.[6]

On 13 January 1950, two RAF PR Mk.34 de Havilland DH.98 Mosquitoes (RG254 and PF624) collided and crashed off Seria.[20][relevant?] The bodies of the crew were buried in Kuala Belait Cemetery.[20]

During the 1962 Brunei revolt, rebels of the TKNU managed to gain control of Seria,[21][22] but was soon liberated by the 1/2nd Battalion Gurkha Rifles Regiment and Queen's Own Highlanders on 11 December 1962.[23][24] A total of 99 Gurkha Infantry and 3 Commando Brigades were deployed by the British Far East Command.[25]

Administration[edit]

Seria officially constitutes two village subdivisions, in which they are under Mukim Seria:

Pekan Seria Kawasan 1 2,413 KB1133
Pekan Seria Kawasan 2 1,212 KB1233
Total 3,625 -

Seria has also been incorporated as a municipal area (kawasan bandaran) since 1959 and is the responsibility of the Kuala Belait and Seria Municipal Board, which also oversees Kuala Belait.[28] The municipal area constitutes 1.56 square kilometres (0.60 sq mi)[2] and encompasses parts of the aforementioned village subdivisions, bounded by Jalan Tengah and the Seria Arena to the north, Jalan Lorong Satu Barat to the east, Jalan Bolkiah to the south, and Jalan Lorong Tiga Barat to the west.[29][30]

Economy[edit]

Oil and gas[edit]

The town sits atop the Seria oil field, which was discovered in 1929 and has been continuously in production since then.[6]

The Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) Company Limited is headquartered in Panaga and has various facilities related to the oil and gas industry in Seria.[31] The Seria Refinery is the only refinery in Brunei and is located in the Sungai Bera area,[32][11] together with the Seria Crude Oil Terminal (SCOT),[33] the New Gas Compression Plant (NGCP)[34] and the New Industrial Area (NIA).[35] The open-air oil water treatment facility at the Sungai Bera Holding Basin (SBHB) has since been discontinued due to environmental reasons.[36]

Demography[edit]

Religion[edit]

Religions practiced in Seria include Islam which is adhered to by the majority of the local population, and Christianity, Sikhism,[37] Hinduism,[38] as well as Buddhism which are practiced overwhelmingly by permanent residents, foreign workers and migrants.[39] There are two mosques in Seria, the main and oldest being Masjid Pekan Seria. There are also Christian churches, including the St. Margaret's Church and Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception.[40]

Transportation[edit]

Road[edit]

Most of the roads within the municipality are surfaced. There are buses taking passengers to Bandar Seri Begawan and Miri from Seria.[41][42] The Kuala Belait Highway from the Malaysian border west of Sungai Tujuh, Kuala Belait links up with multiple other highways leading to Bandar Seri Begawan and Muara Town.[43]

Rail[edit]

There are no working railways or light rail in Seria.[44] The route and remnants of a 8 miles (13 km) wooden railway from Seria to Badas that was built by the British Malayan Oil Company (now Brunei Shell Petroleum) before the war to service the water supply to Seria from the Badas pumping station on the Sungai Belait are still visible.[45][46]

BMP staff hid essential components of the railway from the Japanese during World War II who therefore were unable to restore it so it fell into disrepair. When the liberation forces of the Australian 9th Division arrived,[47] these components miraculously re-appeared and the railway was quickly restored to action to carry two 25 pounder guns and ammunition to Badas, to harry a Japanese contingent that was still in the area.[48]

Water[edit]

There are no ferry services, river services or port services in Seria.[49] The nearest port is in Kuala Belait, and the nearest deepwater port in Brunei is Muara Port.[49]

Air[edit]

There is a privately owned airfield in Anduki that caters mainly for flights to offshore Brunei Shell Facilities.[50] Commercial travellers would have to travel to either Bandar Seri Begawan or Miri to catch a commercial flight.[51] There is one helipad at Panaga Health Centre and at the Brunei Shell Petroleum Headquarters.[52]

A heliport (ICAO: WBML)[53] is located inside the British Army Jungle Warfare Training School.[54] The helicopters belong to the No. 1563 Flight RAF,[55] formerly No. 667 Squadron AAC,[56] and No. 7 Flight AAC.[57]

Infrastructure[edit]

Seria Fire Station

In 1938, the first Seria Mosque was completed.[58] In 1953, the Masjid Pekan Seria was rebuilt at a cost of B$250,000, becoming the first mosque in Brunei with a dome.[59]

The 8 acres (3.2 ha) An-Naem Islamic cemetery was opened in Anduki, in 1993.[60]

Electricity used to be locally generated with a natural gas-fired power plant.[61] This has since been demolished and replaced by the Tenaga Suria Brunei (TSB) solar farm, with a generation capacity of 1.2 megawatts (1,600 hp).[62] The B$20 million solar farm began operation in 2010.[63]

The Seria Post Office served as the town's primary post office.[64]

The RBPF CID training center was built in Seria in 1951.[65]

The town is also home to the Consulate of the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.[66]

Seria Plaza

Commerce[edit]

The Pasarneka Seria, also known as Seria Wet Market, is the town's marketplace.[67][68]

Seria Plaza is a shopping plaza in the commercial centre of the town.[69]

The retailer's fifth location nationwide is the recently inaugurated Milimewah Department Store.[70] It was reopened in 2019, after plans made to tear down and rebuild the historic shop houses, which were destroyed by fire in September 2015.[71]

Education[edit]

Chung Ching Middle School

Schools in Seria include:

St. Michael's Mission School was the first English school in the country.[78] It was a Private Catholic All-Boys School. Due to declining numbers, it was closed down in late 2006 and its student body was merged with the formerly all-girls Catholic school, St. Angela's. On 12 February 1977, Seria Library opened its doors on Jalan Bunga Melur.[79]

BFB Tuker Lines

Military[edit]

The British Forces Brunei headquarters was established in Seria, in 1963 by the request of then Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III.[80] The three sites that make up Brunei Garrison are Sittang Camp (a training ground for jungle warfare), Medicina Lines (where Garrison Support Services are housed), and Tuker Lines (where Garrison Headquarters and the Resident Infantry Battalion (RIB) are based). In addition to Sittang Camp, the garrison is situated just outside of Seria. Additionally, there are a few Garrison Troops who assist the battalion in completing its job as well as the British Army Jungle Warfare Training School (TTB).[4]

Numerous facilities are available at Brunei Garrison, including a fitness center, swimming pool, splash pool for young children, squash and tennis courts, a library, an education center, a post office, a sport complex, volley ball courts, basketball courts, a youth center for children, NAAFI, and Ramdhani (convenience store, canteen, dry cleaners, laundry, and tailoring service provided). Two community centers are located within the Garrison, where a variety of programs are administered by the AWS team, including moms and tots, SSAFA community events, coffee mornings, and various social events. Private events may be held in the community centers. Evening social gatherings in the garrison are centered around the Patio bar and Chautari restaurant. MRS, or the Medical Reception Station, is close to Tuker Lines. All Garrison personnel and their eligible dependents have access to a primary care facility through the Medical Reception Station (MRS).[4]

  • Seria Energy Lab (SEL) – an interactive museum officiated in 2002 and run by Brunei Shell Petroleum.[81]
  • Billionth Barrel Monument – a monument built in 1991, to commemorate the billionth barrel of crude oil produced from the Seria oil field.[82]
  • Panaga – home to a resident population of hornbills[83]
  • Marina Cinema – one of the few surviving former movie theaters, built in the 1950s.[84] Since around 1991, it has been shuttered and left unoccupied.[85]

Recreation and sports[edit]

Public recreational activities in Seria are mostly limited to the country clubs (Panaga Club and the Brunei Shell Recreation Club).[86][87] There is an 18-hole golf course in Panaga Club[88] and an Equestrian area in the Brunei Shell Recreation Club.[89]

Fishing and windsurfing is carried out at the 63 hectares (160 acres) Anduki Jubilee Recreational Park (Malay: Taman Rekreasi Jubli Anduki).[90] It was opened by His Majesty, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara Brunei Darussalam, in 1992, a contribution from Brunei Shell Petroleum to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the Sultan to the throne of Brunei.[91]

The Arena Sports Complex consisted of a track and a football pitch. It is often used by the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (FABD) for national football competitions.[92]
