From page A5 of the Brunei Times of Sunday, 12 January, describing a fire at the residence of the Brunei High Commissioner to Malaysia:
... the fire occurred at about 9pm, damaging a 30 sqaure metre area on the second and third floors of the bungalow ...
Second and third floors of a bungalow? My dictionary defines 'bungalow' as a one-storey house.
Actually, the word 'bungalow' originally meant Bengali-style house. Were they all on one floor? Or were there multi-storey Bengali-style houses? If the latter, then this local use of 'bungalow' to mean a detached house may have reverted to its original meaning.
