Mukim

A mukim is a type of administrative division used in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The word mukim is loanword in English.[1] However, it was also originally a loanword in Malay from the Arabic word: مقيم (means resident). The closest English translation for mukim is township.[2][3]

In Brunei, a mukim is the immediate subdivision of a district (Malay: daerah). The equivalent English word for 'mukim' is 'township'.

Mukims of Brunei

There are 38 mukims in Brunei. Each mukim is an administrative area made up of several kampung (Malay for "village"). A mukim is headed by a penghulu, which is an elected office. The number of mukims in each of the districts in Brunei is as follows:

DistrictNumber of Mukims
Belait8
Brunei-Muara17
Temburong5
Tutong8

The smallest mukim by area is Mukim Saba in the Brunei-Muara District. The largest mukim by area is Mukim Sukang in the Belait District. The last change in the mukim boundaries was in the late 1990s when Mukim Kumbang Pasang was merged into Mukim Kianggeh and Mukim Berakas was divided into Mukim Berakas A and Mukim Berakas B. The number of mukims remained at 38.

Indonesia

In Indonesia, mukim means 'a place to stay' or 'the one who stay', Permukiman generally use to refer 'a settlement'.[4] The term mukim used exclusively as a subdivision of a district in Aceh. A mukim contains some villages.

Malaysia

In Malaysia, a mukim can either be a subdivision of a daerah (district or county) or a subdivision of an autonomous sub-district (daerah kecil), as per Section 11(c) of the National Land Code 1965. The mukim designation was not used in Putrajaya however; the term "precinct" (presint in Malay) is used instead. The northern state of Perlis, due to its size, was not divided into daerahs, but straight to the mukim level. In Kelantan, the term daerah corresponds to the mukim level in other states.
