With the motto 'Hidup berkampung, bermasyarakat, bernegara, pupuk muafakat membawa berkat, hidup sejahtera' (Life as a village, a community, a nation, the fertilizer of consensus brings blessings, a prosperous life), the village continues to thrive with the vision of 'Keluarga riang, masyarakat cemerlang, kampung terbilang' (Joyful families, excellent communities, distinguished villages) and its mission 'Sentiasa bersiap siaga dalam mendepani berbagai cabaran ke arah kesempurnaan masyarakat' (Always be ready to face various challenges towards the perfection of society). Maju Kampungku, Kampung Belimbing is the village anthem.[4]
Belimbing (Averrhoa bilimbi) is a large tree with a girth of about four pemalums, this fruit is light brown like a tampoi fruit and is similar in shape to a belimbing buluh and is twisted around it. The tree is very odd because it is scaly, where at one time in the past, in a village only one tree grew, making the villagers agree to name the village as 'Kampung Belimbing'.[4]
