Pulau Ambok (Monkey Island), ^[5] located in the former Kampong Petagian near the Pintu Malim Mosque and the Haji Abdul Latif Timber Mill, is historically significant for several events. It served as a stronghold where Pengiran Bendahara Sakam trained Brunei warriors for the battle against the Spanish forces during the 1578–1579 Castilian War. Additionally, it was the site of a civil war between Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin and Bendahara Pengiran Muhyiddin. During this conflict, the island was used as a defensive fort for Muhyiddin as he awaited an attack from Mubin's forces from Kuala Sungai Brunei. ^[6]
