Lambak Kanan, formally known as Lambak Kanan National Housing Scheme (Malay: Rancangan Perumahan Negara Lambak Kanan), is a public housing estate on the northern outskirts of Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. It officially consists of five village subdivisions which are under Berakas 'B', a mukim (subdistrict) of Brunei-Muara District. Lambak Kanan is de facto a suburb of the capital.
Lambak Kanan literally translates as "Lambak Right" ("kanan" is the Malay word for "right"). It refers to the location as located to the 'right' or east of Lambak, a neighbouring settlement and the origin of the place name "Lambak".
Lambak Kanan is officially known as Lambak Kanan National Housing Scheme (Malay: Rancangan Perumahan Negara Lambak Kanan). It is named after the public housing estate which is under the government housing programme National Housing Scheme.
Similarly, Lambak Kanan is sometimes known as Perpindahan Lambak Kanan, as it was also considered a housing estate for the former housing programme of the National Resettlement Scheme (Malay: Rancangan Perpindahan Negara, hence perpindahan). This was a programme for the relocation of some Kampong Ayer residents to live on land. It is succeeded by the National Housing Scheme and subsequent resettlement programme is managed under the current scheme.
Lambak Kanan is divided into five areas and they are officially villages, the third and lowest in the hierarchy of Brunei's administrative divisions. Each area is led by a ketua kampung (village head) and is responsible for administrative matters concerning the residents of his area. Each area also serves for census purposes, as well as has its own postcode. All of the five divisions are under Berakas B, a mukim or subdistrict of Brunei-Muara.
