Belait District
The area under the authority of the Municipal Department overlaps with that under "Jabatan Daerah Belait" or the Belait District Office. The municipal area consists of Pekan Kuala Belait, the whole of Kampong Pandan suburb, and parts of Mumong suburb. However, all of the "kampongs" are also under the governance of the Belait District Office, since they constitute the proper subdivisions of the district and subdistricts, and subsequently the headmen of the "kampongs", known as "ketua kampong" (with the exception of Pekan Kuala Belait since there is none assigned), answers to the "Pegawai Daerah" or District Officer.
