Etymology
editAs a village subdivision, Tungkadeh is officially known in Malay as Kampung Tungkadeh (Kampung is sometimes spelt as Kampong),[2] which literally means 'Tungkadeh Village'.
History
editA vast 150 acres (61 ha) region was covered by Melabau communities, which included villages such as Kampong Melabau and Kampong Berakas. Smaller villages including Baduk Sijanum, Bukit Galang-Galang, Sibukak, Pulaie, and a few more eventually joined the Melabau landscape, albeit many of them are now extinct. The Melabau people were able to establish a strong, cohesive society because of this large region.[5]
