Villages of Brunei

A village (Malay: kampung, sometimes kampong) is the third and lowest administrative division of Brunei. It is headed by a village head (Malay: ketua kampung, also ketua kampong). Villages are subdivisions of the subdistricts (mukim) of Brunei. A village may have a population ranging from a few hundreds to less than ten thousand people.

Village subdivisions are the third-level administrative divisions of Brunei, thus they are immediately below the subdistricts (Malay: mukim). Both villages and subdistricts are part of the Government of Brunei, and they are administered as part of the Subdistricts and Villages Institution (Malay: Institusi Mukim dan Kampung) under the District Offices of the respective districts that they belong.

A village is headed by a village head (Malay: ketua kampung, also ketua kampong), who may be appointed by the government or elected by the village population. Always a male, he shall then be in office for up to ten years.

A village may also have a Village Consultative Council (Malay: Majlis Perundingan Kampung), the local equivalent of community association. A key outcome of the Council is One Village One Product (Malay: Satu Kampung Satu Produk, abbreviated as 1K1P), which promotes local goods produced in the village.
