Name[]

Pengiran Siraja Muda Delima Satu (or Delima Satu Pengiran Siraja Muda) is the primary name for this neighbourhood.[3] It is composed from the merger of two names, 'Pengiran Siraja Muda' and 'Delima Satu'.[3] However, the shorter two names are still commonly used to refer to the place.

'Pengiran Siraja Muda' is named after the initial residents which emigrated from Bakut Pengiran Siraja Muda, a neighbourhood in the riverine settlement of Kampong Ayer. Meanwhile, 'Delima Satu' comes from the Malay term which translates as 'Delima One' and means area one of Delima settlement. The settlement area, which also included Pancha Delima, is named after delima or pomegranate that had been grown in the backyard of Awang Sugut bin Mahat's home, who eventually became the first village head for the settlement.[3]

History[]

The current neighbourhood was established in the 1950s as a perpindahan or resettlement estate under the National Resettlement Scheme (Malay: Rancangan Perpindahan Negara), a government programme that encouraged the residents of Kampong Ayer to resettle on land.[4] The residents that had resettled in the area originally came from Bakut Pengiran Siraja Muda neighbourhood in Kampong Ayer (hence the name 'Pengiran Siraja Muda'); each family was given a 2-acre (0.81-hectare) piece of land as the incentive to built a new home and also develop agriculturally as new means to sustain livelihood.[3]

Administration[]

In 2007, the village has also been incorporated as part of the expanded Bandar Seri Begawan municipal area, hence becomes a neighbourhood of the capital.[5][6]
