Kampong Mulaut is a village in Brunei-Muara District, Brunei, about 14km (09miles) from the capital Bandar Seri Begawan. The population was 5,846 in 2016.[2] It is one of the villages within Mukim Sengkurong.
According to one of the residents of Kampong Mulaut, the earliest school built there was Sekolah Rendah Orang Kaya Setia Bakti. When the Kampong Mulaut area was newly developed with the construction of roads and schools, when a person stood on the hill there and looked towards the flat area below, the person looked as if the flat area under the hill was covered by the sea. Based on the scenery, it was the inspiration to name this village as Kampong Mulaut.[3]
Most of its working population is working in the public sector while the rest are either running their own business or working in the private sector.
