Kampung LB Johnson (also known as Kampung LBJ)[1] formerly LKTP Labu Jaya, FELDA LB Johnson and Felda LBJ,[2] is a settlement village located in the Seremban District of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Once a Felda settlement,[2] the village is strategically located near the Kuala Lumpur International Airport,[2][3] Putrajaya and the nearby Bandar Enstek.[3]
Established as Felda Labu Jaya in 1961,[1] the settlement was named after Lyndon B, Johnson, the then-President of the United States, who visited the settlement on 30 October 1966.[4][1] Following Johnson's visit, the settlement was renamed FELDA LB Johnson as a tribute to his presence.[5]
In 1996, the Negeri Sembilan Development Corporation and Tabung Haji "acquired the land from the settlers to build the state’s technology corridor",[2][1] where the settlers receive a payout of RM 47 million; each receive between RM 1.2 million to RM 2 million,[1] hence earning its nickname "the millionaire village".[3]
The village itself has a primary school and a mosque, both named after Johnson.
