Daily activities among the villagers...

Merambat..

"Rambat" is a casting net, which is weighted with lead pieces at the bottom, for catching prawns or fish in shallow as well as deep waters.








Merambat is a very interesting activity especially during leisure time and it is also becoming a hobby among Bruneian nowadays. The young people at my village goes 'merambat' as part of their leisure time with their friends and family. Back then, most villagers who lives on the river (eg. Kampong Ayer) works as a fisherman (nelayan). They would go fishing (mengail), merambat, membintur (use for catching crabs) at the 'pantaran' or balcony of their house. Moreover, they will use a boat to go 'mengandang' and 'membubu'. 

'Kail' is a simple tackle made up of a hook or barb, a line and the flexible but tough stem of belubu, which is a member of the Salacca palm.
