Limbang District
Limbang District is one of the two districts of Limbang Division, Malaysia. It has a total area of 3,976.00 square kilometres. The major town is Limbang. It has one sub-district, which is Nanga Medamit. It borders Brunei Darussalam to the west and east, Lawas District to the southeast and Miri District at the south and southwest. Due to being squeezed in between Brunei Darussalam at its north and coastal areas, Limbang is accessible by road only by going through immigration posts. According to history, this area was annexed by Charles Anthoni Johnson Brooke, the second Rajah of Sarawak in 1890 from Brunei to become the fifth division of Sarawak. The annexation was strongly disputed by Brunei.〔(the CIA World Factbook )〕 However, the issue has been reportedly settled in 2009, with Brunei agreeing to accept the border in exchange for Malaysia giving up claims to oil fields in Bruneian waters.
The de facto boundary ran along the watershed between the Brunei River and Limbang River basins on the western side of the district, and along the length of the Pandaruan River on the eastern side. Boundary agreements have delineated a stretch of the western border and the Pandaruan River〔"Agreement between the Government of Brunei and the Government of Sarawak regarding the boundary between the States of Brunei and Sarawak between Limbang and Brunei from the coast to a point west of Bukit Gadong signed by the British Resident, Brunei and the Resident, Fifth Division, Sarawak dated the 24th of February 1933, covering a distance of 37.0km" quoted by Ahmad Fauzi Nordin".〕 while the other stretches have yet to be delineated.
Limbang is claimed by the Nation of Brunei as part of its integral territory. In 2009, Malaysian media reported that Brunei dropped all claims to Limbang after a meeting was held with both parties. Brunei dismisses the news and reiterated that the Limbang disputes was never mentioned in its 2009 high-profile meeting with Malaysia.
