Sungai Bernam called Kampung Kubu or Fort Village. Many jambu fruit
trees were planted along the river bank by the Bugis community due to

the Muslim community. At
that the time a British Strait of Settlements official pay a visit ,
then the state officials headed by Raja Itam referred the area as
Tanjong as quoted by the local ulama. However, it is also known by the
local as Kg. Kubu, Kg.Bugis, Kg. Jambu and as Tanjung Jambu. In
