Municipal Council
A municipal council is the legislative body of a municipality or local government area. Depending on the location and classification of the municipality it may be known as a city council, town council, town board, community council, rural council, village council, or board of aldermen. Australia Because of the differences in legislation between the states, the exact definition of a city council varies. However, it is generally only those local government areas which have been specifically granted city status (usually on a basis of population) that are entitled to refer to themselves as cities. The official title is "Corporation of the City of ______" or similar. Some of the urban areas of Australia are governed mostly by a single entity (see Brisbane and other Queensland cities), while others may be controlled by a multitude of much smaller city councils. Also, some significant urban areas can be under the jurisdiction of otherwise rural local governments. Periodic re-alignm ...

Kampung Boyan
Kampung Boyan is a malay village situated on the north bank of the Sarawak River, within the Taiping, Larut, Matang and Selama District, of Perak, Malaysia. Originally a tin mining area in the 1980s, the village gained attention after the rapid development of the Taman and Kamunting neighbourhoods in the 1980s and 1990s. Resulting in road development connecting the village to Taman Long Jaafar. The name of the village is believed to have been derived from the Baweanese (Boyanese) people who inhabited the area during colonial times, when the Lumba Kuda race course was still located in Taiping. With the relocation of the race course to Ipoh, many of the Boyanese also migrated to the new location. The Boyanese people, unlike other Indonesian ethnic groups, such as those from Acheh, Kampar or Java, have a more nomadic lifestyle. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to locate original Boyanese locals residing in the Kampung Boyan area. Initially, the Mussolla (small mosq ...
