geography

Amo is located in the southeast part of the district and its eastern border forms a large part of the eastern border of Brunei and Malaysia ( Sarawak ), to the west the Mukim Bokok joins and to the north the Mukim Batu Apoi (NE) and Bangar (NW). The Malaysian state of Sarawak surrounds the area in the east and south. Amo has an area of ​​542 km²; Unlike the northern areas of Brunei, the predominant rocks in Amo come from the Oligocene . The majority of the area belongs to the Ulu Temburong National Park and on the southern border is the Bukit Pagon , at 1850 m the highest mountain in Brunei, where a source river of the Temburong rises.

administration

Amo is officially divided into 12 so-called Kampung:

These areas are divided by the Survey Department and the Postal Services Department , so each area has its own zip code. The Temburong District Office , which manages the Kampung, only manages four areas as a village institution, namely Amo, Sumbiling, Sibut and the community area Selangan, Parit and Biang . Each of these "villages" has its own mayor ("ketua kampung") and is responsible for certain tasks. The Temburong District Office reports to the Ministry of Home Affairs .
