Brunei
traditional style of voluntarily working together to demolish a vacant house |
| |
 |
|
Residents of
Mukim Peramu in the Brunei Muara District were out in force this
morning, in a true Brunei traditional style of voluntarily working
together or memucang-mucang as the locals call it. With the support of
the Fire and Rescue Department and other government agencies, the
villagers worked together to demolish a vacant house in Kampong Ayer.
|
|
|
The house that
was demolished was located at Kampong Bakut Pengiran Siraja Muda A. The
voluntary work was carried out with the Brunei Muara District Officer,
Dato Paduka Awang Haji Mohammad Yussof bin Bakar at the helm. The house
had been left vacant since its owners moved inland to the National
Housing Scheme. |
|
 |
 |
|
Pengiran Limah
binte Pengiran Ali vacated the house four years ago. The voluntary work
is welcomed by the government because it helps to alleviate the burden
tasked on the authorities concern in dealing with abandoned houses in
Kampong Ayer. To date, there are more than 20 houses left vacant in
Kampong Bakut Pengiran Siraja Muda “A”. The authorities fear that the
abandoned houses if not demolished could be used as lairs for negative
activities. |

Officer, Awang Abdul Mutalib bin Haji Mohamad Idris. The balloting took

Only one
candidate was nominated. He is 61 year old Awang Haji Mumin bin Abdul
Razak a retiree of the Land Survey Department. He garnered 199 “yes”
votes against 6 “no”. Seven other votes were discounted. |

number of villages under Mukim Pekan Tutong with a population of about
two thousand people living in more than four hundred houses. The post of
Ketua Kampong Sengkarai is being deputised by the Penghulu of Mukim
