Kampong Masin
Etymology
According to folktales, a well was found located on a hill in Simpang 616, Jalan Kecil Masin. The water from the well tastes salty. There is also an area where a rice plantation exist. It is impossible that the well felt salty because it was located on a hill, due to this uniqueness, the name of this village is known as Kampong Masin.

Economy
The Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources' Department of Agriculture and Agrifood issued a call for bids in 2011 to create a development master plan for converting the Batampu Agricultural Development Area into high-tech farming with a leasing system. This 480-hectare property, which was split up into 219 two-hectare lots, was underutilized because it was prone to floods. The goal of the research was to develop both immediate and long-term plans for turning the region into a high-tech farm that used progressive and sustainable farming practices.
