This article gives two texts of Brunei Malay (ISO 639-3: kxd) collected in the town of Weston in Sabah State of Malaysia. 
The texts exhibit linguistic features that are similar to those of Brunei Malay spoken in Brunei Darussalam; 
it has a vowel inventory of only three vowels /a, i, u/, use of the pronoun kitani for the first person plural inclusive
and the use of the base-stem transitive form in patientive voice clauses. One of the texts tells a folk story about 
Batang Dayang and other text includes two episodes: Javanese runaways arriving in Weston and the origin of the name 
Bukau, a town near Weston.
