Name

According to folktales, the original name of this village is from the word 'melimbai' which means a boat when paddled, either at high tide or low tide then the boat will float to the side due to the resistance of the strong water. The villagers who live on the banks of the Brunei River when going back and forth from the city, the boat they are on will float into the sea when they hit a strong current. From that incident, the word 'Pelambaian' was revealed and finally the village was called Kampung Pelambayan. [4]
