Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir

The territory covers 1,840 square kilometers across five districts, including Talang Ubi, Tanah Abang, Abab, Penukal, and North Penukal, bordered by multiple regencies.

The Government of Indonesia established Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir as an independent regency on January 11, 2013, after separating five districts from Muara Enim Regency.

The population of 209,771 residents combines Malay and Javanese communities, maintaining their traditional customs within South Sumatra's regional identity.

Talang Ubi functions as the administrative center for the regency, coordinating services and governance for the five districts at 25 meters above sea level.

Three major waterways - the Penukal, Abab, and Lematang Rivers - define this region, with Ilir indicating the downstream location of these water systems.
