Mukim Bangar
Mukim Bangar (BAHNG-gahr) is a mukim within Temburong District exclave, in Brunei Darussalam. It has a total area of 113 square kilometres (44 square miles); the population was 2,112 in 2021. The mukim encompasses Bangar, the district's sole town and administrative centre.
The mukim is named after the town Bangar, which is also the predominant settlement it encompasses.
The mukim is located in the north-west of the Temburong District, bordering Mukim Labu to the north, Mukim Batu Apoi to the east, Mukim Amo to the south-east, Mukim Bokok to the south-west, and Limbang District in the Malaysian state of Sarawak to the west and north. Mukim Bangar has one island within its vicinity which is Pulau Kibi. It has a total area of 113 square kilometres (44 square miles).
As of the 2021 census, the population was 2,112 with 56.2% males and 43.8% females. The mukim had 500 households occupying 471 dwellings. Among the population, 25.6% lived in urban areas, while the remainder of 74.4% lived in rural areas. Mukim Bangar has a total of nineteen villages, and Penghulu Mukim Bangar has the catchment of four village heads, namely Kampong Tengah, Batang Tuau, Puni and Ujong Jalan, and Belingos, with a population of 2,558 people in 2015, made up of various nationalities including Malay, Murut, Iban, Chinese, and other nationalities.
As of 2021, the mukim comprised the following census of the villages:
Kampong Menengah was originally known as Kampong Kastam Lama. Following the relocation of the administrative headquarters from Kampong Kastam Lama to Pekan Bangar in 1940, residents of Kampong Kastam Lama gradually began moving toward this new administrative centre. Situated on one side of the river were Kampong Gadong, Kampong Batang Tulit, and Kampong Baru, while on the opposite side were Kampong Parit Menengah, Kampong Parit Puak, Kampong Sungai Tanam, Kampong Sungai Tanit, and Kampong Sungai Suluk. Although the population of Kampong Menengah once exceeded 2,000, it currently stands at approximately 800 due to the relocation of residents to the National Housing Plan in Kampong Rataie, Mukim Bokok.
Due to its low-lying position in Brunei Darussalam, Kampong Menengah’s road system was upgraded with flood prevention measures in 2010, and the improvements were completed the following year. The village is provided with essential utilities, including electricity, water, and telephone services. To support local fishermen, the Brunei government constructed a community hall and a boat ramp for easy access to the river. However, because of its close proximity to Bangar, the village does not have amenities such as mosques or schools.
The Karipap Mini MPK Menengah, introduced in 2009 under the 'One Village, One Product' initiative, is a popular local product from this area. This project has generated profits of B$16,000 to $17,000, which are shared among the MPK members involved in its production, including shareholders from the project’s inception. In addition to the Karipap Mini, Kampong Menengah produces two other supporting products, including beadwork, crafted by local residents.
