evidence: The idea that Brunei would buy Limbang is however, also an absurdity, for as far as the Sultanate is concerned it had never recognized the annexation of the territory by Rajah Charles Brooke of Sarawak in 1890. It could not buy what it claimed was its own district. [...] The Fifth Division of Sarawak is made up of the Limbang and Lawas districts which surround the Brunei district of Temburong, thus splitting the sultanate into two. It would be highly unlikely that the whole district could be transferred to Brunei, but a part of it, to provide a land bridge to link the two parts of the sultanate could be viable. [...] In their article in the publication Geography in 1992, authors Mark Cleary and Brian Shaw note: "Brunei continues to regard the Limbang borders as provisional, noting on official maps that regions "which rightfully belongs to Brunei Darusalaam from the Islamic point of view are still being administered by another government." (Limbang: a Lost Province of Oil Rich Brunei Darusalaam." Geography, Vol. 77, No.2 of 1992,).
