History
[edit]A vast 150 acres (61 ha) region was covered by Melabau communities, which included villages such as Kampong Melabau and Kampong Berakas. Smaller villages including Baduk Sijanum, Bukit Galang-Galang, Sibukak, Pulaie, and a few more eventually joined the Melabau landscape, albeit many of them are now extinct. The Melabau people were able to establish a strong, cohesive society because of this large region.[5]
