Bunut Perpindahan (also Perpindahan Bunut) is a neighbourhood in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. It is officially a village subdivision under Kilanas, a mukim (subdistrict) of Brunei-Muara District.
Name
Bunut Perpindahan is officially known in Malay as Kampung Bunut Perpindahan (Kampung is sometimes spelt as Kampong), which literally means 'Bunut Perpindahan Village'.
The name 'Bunut Perpindahan' (sometimes 'Perpindahan Bunut') literally means 'Bunut Resettlement' and is named after its residential area which has been one of the housing estates under the National Resettlement Scheme (Malay: Rancangan Perpindahan Negara),[1] as well as its location being near Bunut, the original settlement of the name.
History
The neighbourhood was first established in 1951 as the first housing estate under the Resettlement Programme,[1] a government programme for the resettlement of Kampong Ayer residents to land. The first several families who resettled in Bunut Perpindahan were originally the inhabitants of Pengiran Bendahara Lama,[2] a neighbourhood in the Tamoi area of Kampong Ayer. They were given incentives to built new homes and additional plot of land for agriculture as new means of sustenance.[2]
