Mat vive em um kampung - vilarejo típico da Malásia - na maior região de mineração do país. Entre banhos de rio, pescarias, estudos do Alcorão e brincadeiras com seus irmãos e amigos, ele vai construindo uma visão de mundo toda particular - a de um menino de aldeia. Submarino.com
Salience: The word "kampung" appears in the Target Text once, in the sixth line of the ninth paragraph, and a variation also occurs once: "perkampungan," in the first line of the fifth paragraph.

Disambiguation:Since the word "bandaraya" means city, it is believed that the word "kampung" may not include population centers as large as cities.

Also, see Zimbel's Treatise, Chapter I.
