Kampong Kulapis is a village in Mukim Sengkurong of Brunei–Muara District, Brunei, about 13 miles (21 km) from the capital Bandar Seri Begawan.

[5] As of 2016, Kampong Kulapis has a population of 1,766 people residing in 156 houses,[3] predominantly practicing Islam, including 516 members of the Kedayan community, and covers an area of 486.71 hectares (1,202.7 acres).

Traditionally chosen by the villagers based on qualities such as strength and capability rather than lineage, the position is now filled through elections organized by the Brunei–Muara District Office.

The village head is responsible for distributing pensions to the elderly and widows, attending weekly meetings, and addressing the community's needs while fostering unity among residents.

The appointment process now involves a voting system, requiring all villagers aged 12 and above to participate in electing a suitable candidate for the role.

Public transportation, including taxis and buses, operates daily to connect the village with Bandar Seri Begawan, while paved roads facilitate easy access to important locations and workplaces.

[9] The government's efforts have transformed the living conditions in Kampong Kulapis, where previously, residents had limited access to education and basic amenities.
