How did a small village nestled in the heart of Brunei’s water village earn a name tied to royal processions? You’re standing in Kampung Bakut Pengiran Siraja Muda B. This village, part of the larger Kampong Ayer, is more than just a collection of houses on stilts. Its name whispers tales of Brunei’s rich history. “Bakut” translates to “embankment”. This might refer to the village’s location within Kampong Ayer, built along the Brunei River. But the name “Pengiran Siraja Muda” hints at a deeper connection to Brunei’s royalty. According to local history, the Pengirans, or princes, residing in this village played a crucial role. During royal processions like the Istiadat Perarakan for Berpuspa, these princes would join the Sultan’s entourage. Imagine the vibrant spectacle as they sailed down the river, their boats adorned in finery. This tradition cemented Kampung Bakut Pengiran Siraja Muda B’s place, not just within Kampong Ayer, but within Brunei’s regal chronicles. This tradition underscores the deep connection between the Sultanate and the people. It’s a bond woven into the very fabric of Brunei’s identity, a legacy that continues to resonate through the waterways of Kampong Ayer.
