Name

Brunei has a few place names that are tree related. Another place name in Brunei with a tree-related name is Nong Mayan. Some locals claim that Kampong Nong Mayan is named after a tree called kayu kemayan, although Nong is a Dusun word that refers to the hill's pinnacle or hujung bukit. As a result, the kemayan tree at the top of the hill was the source of the place name Nong Mayan.[3]

Facilities

Balai Ibadat Hajah Aminah is the village mosque; it was inaugurated on 1 February 1998 by the then Minister of Religious Affairs.[4]
