In the 1920s, Sekinchan began as a small fishing village. The early inhabitants were predominantly Teow Chew fishermen who relied on fishing for their livelihood. Over time, the village expanded, and during the British colonial era, it was even referred to as “Ang Mo Gang” (红毛港) due to British presence.
Today, Sekinchan stands as a coastal rice cultivation hub, aptly named the “Land of Plenty” for its abundant paddy fields and rich fishing grounds.The lush rice paddies stretching far beyond the horizon are a defining feature of Sekinchan. Sekinchan’s total farming land spans around 4,700 acres.
A recent addition to Sekinchan’s allure is the Terminal Sekinchan. This unique attraction houses a retired Boeing 727 aircraft and has become a viral sensation. The uniqueness of having an entire airplane as a dining space captured the imagination of locals and tourists alike. Located in the middle of Parit 5, the terminal draws tens of thousands of visitors, especially during weekends and holidays.
The total population comprises approximately 20,000 people, with a mix of Chinese, Malay, and other ethnicities. It encompasses four villages: Site A, Site B, Site C, and Bagan.
Site A is predominantly Hokkien-speaking, with most residents engaged in farming.
Site B, the largest village, houses Cantonese and Hakka communities involved not only in agriculture but also in business.
Site C, the smallest village, is inhabited by rice farmers.
Bagan, a fishing village, is home to Teow Chew fishermen who thrive on the sea’s bounty.
Together, these villages contribute to Sekinchan’s unique character and livelihoods
Sekinchan also has a rich fishing heritage intertwined with its economic activities. Bagan stands as the main fishing village in Sekinchan. Located along the river and southwest of the town, Bagan has been a hub for fishing activities for generations.
Sekinchan’s future shines with digitalization, tourism growth, and a commitment to sustainable development.
