Sungai Pandaruan
The Pandaruan River ( ms, Sungai Pandaruan) is a river that forms an international border on the island of Borneo, between Temburong, Brunei and Limbang, Malaysia. It is located at the river mouth of the Brunei Bay. History On 4 May 1968, the 67 Gurkha Independent Field Squadron of the Queen's Gurkha Engineers built the first road alongside the river. A soil erosion destroyed the road connecting Kampong Belais and Buda-Buda in the early 2000s. The Pandaruan Bridge which is also known as the Brunei–Malaysia Friendship Bridge, crosses the river linking Pandaruan in Sarawak, Malaysia, and Kampong Puni in Temburong, Brunei. The opening of the bridge on 8 December 2013 enabled the vehicular ferry service, which was then the only means for vehicles to cross the river, to be discontinued. Brunei and Malaysia have border crossing checkpoints at these locations. Vacation lodges were scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019. See also * Brunei–Malaysia relations * List of ...

This district area is 3,978.10 square kilometres, and population (year 2020 census) was 56,900. It is located on the banks of the Limbang River (Sungai Limbang in Malay), between the two halves of Brunei.

However, when the settlement was combined with Trusan district and Lawas district, "Pangkalan Tarap" changed its name to "Limbang", naming it after the river on which it is situated. History In 1884, there was a rebellion by Limbang residents protesting against the high tax rate imposed by the Bruneian Empire. W.H. Treacher, the governor of North Borneo, saw an opportunity to acquire more territories from the Bruneian empire. Treacher offered hi ...

Brunei–Malaysia Border
The Brunei–Malaysia border divides the territory of Brunei and Malaysia on the island of Borneo. It consists of a land border and substantial lengths of maritime borders stretching from the coastline of the two countries to the edge of the continental shelf in the South China Sea. Brunei's 200 nautical mile continental shelf claim makes it a claimant of a portion of the South China Sea that is subject to multiple overlapping claims by China, Taiwan and Vietnam. Malaysia is also a claimant in the area but a bilateral agreement with Brunei has solved the overlapping claims over Brunei's territorial waters. Land borders From west to east, the Brunei–Malaysia border begins where the watershed of the Baram and Belait river basins meet the South China Sea at a point six nautical miles (11 km) east of Tanjung Baram at coordinates . It then travels along the watershed of the two river basins for about 30 km to the Pagalayan Canal. It then goes a further 44 km to t ...

Rivers Of Sarawak
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, a ...

Ferry
A ferry is a ship, watercraft or amphibious vehicle used to carry passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo, across a body of water. A passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, Italy, is sometimes called a water bus or water taxi. Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost much lower than bridges or tunnels. Ship connections of much larger distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like the Mediterranean Sea) may also be called ferry services, and many carry vehicles. History In ancient times The profession of the ferryman is embodied in Greek mythology in Charon, the boatman who transported souls across the River Styx to the Underworld. Speculation that a pair of oxen propelled a ship having a water wheel can be found in 4th century Roman literature "''Anonymus De Rebus Bellicis''". Though impractical, there is no reason why it could not work ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
