History
An ancient graveyard called Makam di Luba once stood on the upper Brunei River. Brunei was allegedly ruled by Sultan Husin Kamaludin during the time. The settlements of Kampong Lumadan, Kampong Telanai, Kampong Sungai Damuan, Kampong Sungai Tamiang, and Kampong Sungai Ketam were among those then present upstream of the Brunei River. Together with the locals, His Majesty enjoys fishing on the hulu (inner) Brunei River's banks, particularly in the coastal region upstream of the Makam di Luba. A kind of wood known as tuba wood that His Majesty frequently brought was 'pupuh-pupuh' and kept in a tin.

Then, along with the locals, His Majesty boarded a large boat to tour the Brunei River. After arriving at the chosen location, tuba water is poured into the river, particularly in the area of the left and right tributaries heading into Kampong Luba. The fish that have been exposed to the tuba water will emerge after roughly 30 minutes, feeble. It was claimed that at the time, the locals would rejoice and be content since they could take the fish home to enjoy with their cherished families. The informant asserts that the majority of fish that are obtained and caught using tuba water are not harmful to the body and are not even intoxicated when consumed. When Sultan Hussin Kamaluddin was in charge, this was the way of life in the village.

The people enjoyed a pleasant and successful time under Sultan Hussin Kamaluddin, who is still referred to as Al-Marhum in Luba. Due to Sultan Hussin Kamaluddin's regular operations in that region, even this nostalgia is still recalled, mentioned, and remembered now. His Majesty and the other residents' spirits will be blessed by Allah Ta'ala, according to the community and the elderly who are still residing there.
