When the Hindu Empire of Majapahit in Java rose to power in the 15th century, Brunei, a kingdom of the Sumatran Buddhist Srivijaya Empire, fell. Islam was introduced in Brunei through the Sultanate of Tumasek (formerly known as Singapore), although recent research suggests that this may have happened as early as the 13th century. The sultans of Borneo eventually gained independence.[4]
A Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) petrol station sits within the area on Jalan Tutong.[5] In addition to this, a fire station exist in the village.[6]
