有人想知道拉布彎（Labuan）的歷史嗎？～建筑科的precedent study

明天我要做拉布彎的Precedence Studies，找到這個網站，覺得很有趣，所以貼上來和大家分享，希望你們會喜歡。



Labuan was part of the Majapahit Empire until its collapse in the 14th century. Then, it was ruled by the Sultan of Brunei until 1846 when it was ceded to the British in that year. It was a strategic re-fueling station for British steamships and was subsequently established as a free port.  Labuan was a British naval base used to fight the pirates in Brunei Bay and was also the only significant coal-mining center of the then British Empire in the Far East in 1987.  The main town of the island was named Victoria, after Queen Victoria.  During the Japanese occupation the island was renamed Maida Island. Labuan as part of Sabah, joined Malaysia in 1963, and was subsequently declared as Federal Territory in 1984.
The main town is now known as Bandar Labuan. More than 53% of the island’s 80,000 population claim Brunei-Malay descendants. Numbering slightly less are the Kedayan who claim Java origins. There are also the local Chinese as well as immigrant Fillipinos and Indonesians.   


這是我用比較白話的中文翻譯的：


拉布彎曾是滿者伯姨王朝領土的一部份直至14世紀滿者伯姨政權瓦解。之後給汶來蘇丹統治直到1846年給英國英國統治。英國將它發展成他們的輪船添油站之後的之後就被發展成一個自由港。拉布彎也是英國人用以打擊來自汶萊彎的海盜的海軍基地。它也是大英帝國在遠東的一個重要的煤炭挖掘地中心直至1987年。島上最大的市鎮被以維多利亞女王的名字命名為維多利亞市。在日據時代，可惡的日本人將它改名為難聽的Maida島。拉布彎一直是沙巴的一部份領土直至1963年加入馬來西亞。1984年它被宣佈為聯邦直轄地。
53％或者8萬人口是馬來－汶來裔。之後是人數相差不遠的來自爪哇的哥搭言人。當然還有本土華人和印尼、菲律賓新移民。

PS：沒有想到滿者伯姨當年北方的領土竟然到達這裡。
