yes that's true. the people who live in that place are relatively quite wealthy, those ramshackle-looking houses actually look different inside and they have satellite dishes and cable tv! it's just that the people feel too comfortable to change things too much.

That's a picture of the older part of Kampung Ayer. Despite efforts to clean up the area, littering is still rampant amongst those living in the Kampung.

The people living in the kampung aren't exactly poor either, most of them live there because of the house been passed from one generation to another. (Being one of the historial sites in Brunei, this is generally encouraged.)

Many of the residents who lives there today owns other houses, shops and works in comfortable jobs.

It’s too bad you didn’t take a panoramic shot, or several that you could stich together, to show the juxtapositon of the wealth and the poverty.
