Name
The name 'Bunut Perpindahan' (sometimes 'Perpindahan Bunut') literally means 'Bunut Resettlement' and is named after its residential area which has been one of the housing estates under the National Resettlement Scheme (Rancangan Perpindahan Negara),[3] as well as its location being near Kampong Bunut, the original settlement of the name.
History
The settlement was first established in 1951 as the first housing estate under the Resettlement Programme,[3] a government programme for the resettlement of Kampong Ayer residents to land. The first several families who resettled in Bunut Perpindahan were originally the inhabitants of Kampong Pengiran Bendahara Lama,[4] a neighbourhood in Kampong Ayer. They were given incentives to built new homes and additional plot of land for agriculture as new means of sustenance.[4]
