VillagesKampong Piasau-PiasauOn 28 March 2010, the Temburong District Officer held a meeting with the Women's Bureau and the Piasau-Piasau Majlis Perundingan Kampung (MPK) Youth Bureau to explain more about the Gerakan Pembangunan Kampung (GPK) Project. This GPK project is a continuation of the Excellent Village Award which aims to further mobilize the Women's and Youth Bureaus for each MPK. The Piasau Plantation Project is located in Kampong Piasau-Piasau. The Piasau Plantation Project was started by MPK Piasau-Piasau at the beginning of December 2008. Many obstacles have been faced in planting the piasau, including the drainage system that has not been made yet. In this regard, the District Department has already assisted in managing water drainage (drainage) at the site.[6] Kampong SenukohAt the beginning of 2008, some members of the MPK Senukoh made a study visit to several companies. Following the visit, MPK Senukoh agreed to work on the manufacture of wet yellow and dry noodles as a preferred product under the One Village One Product (1K1P) program which is worked entirely by the women in the village. In addition to making the 1K1P program a success, the company also aims to increase the economic resources of Kampung Senukoh and to produce food products that are the local people's favorite, in addition to being able to provide a new source of income for the villagers. This product also received favorable response and orders from Royal Brunei Catering (RBC). MPK Senukoh intends to further expand the market for their products both inside and outside the district. It is hoped that such small-scale enterprises will be able to help the residents involved in increasing their respective side incomes and further introduce the name of Kampong Senukoh to the national level.[7] At a presentation ceremony conducted at Sultan Hassan Bangar Secondary School on 14 February 2008, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah granted land awards to temporary residents of land and resettlement sites in Kampong Senukoh. Of the total, 27 obtained land grants under the Kampong Senukoh resettlement project, while 35 received land grants under the temporarily occupied land scheme.[8] InfrastructureEducationThe government primary schools in the mukim include:
