History
Pengiran Haji Damit bin Pengiran Ahmad explained that he moved to Kampong Jaya Bakti in 1966. This area is a residential area reserved for government officials only. The land given is an area of three quarters of an acre to each recipient. Most of the houses built in this village use government loans. According to Awang Haji Metali bin Abdul Razak (the late), that the origin of Kampong Jaya Bakti was only from an area of rubber trees. When he first moved in, the government buildings had not yet been developed. However, the government is working on all the facilities such as walling the road. After everything is done, the villagers are called to draw lots to determine the position of the house.

The residents of Kampong Ayer moved to Kampong Jaya Bakti starting on 1 July 1966 in stages. The majority of the village residents are Malays who come from Kampong Ayer, including from Kampong Burong Pingai, Kampong Saba and Kampong Tamoi. Kampong Jaya Bakti is reserved for government employees. Villagers build houses by using their respective government loans. For the residents of Kampong Jaya Setia who do not work, they are provided with a half-acre house and a four-acre rubber island. Four acres of rubber trees were cultivated to pay off the house debt. For villagers who want to add a house, they must make a plan first and be referred to the Housing Transfer Department.
