What makes a place earn its name? Is it a landmark, a story, or perhaps, a plant? The Masjid Kampong Beribi, nestled in the heart of Brunei-Muara, owes its name to a rather unique plant. This plant, the “beribi-beribi”, was once so abundant in the local rivers that it could be used as a bridge. Imagine, if you will, the sight of this unusual plant, its ribbed leaves resembling pandan, forming a natural pathway across the water. This, my friends, is the origin of the name Kampong Beribi. The Masjid Kampong Beribi itself, completed in 1984, stands as a testament to the enduring faith of the community. While the “beribi-beribi” plant may no longer grace the rivers, its legacy lives on in the name of this vibrant village and its mosque, a place where the community gathers not just for prayer, but for connection and shared history.
