Kampong Penabai is a coastal village in Tutong District, Brunei, about 4–5 kilometres (2.5–3.1 mi) from the district town Pekan Tutong. The population was 749 in 2021.[2] It is one of the villages within Mukim Pekan Tutong, a mukim in the district.[3]
Etymology
[edit]The village is named after the Bruneian Malay ethnic group who had migrated to the area from the present-day Brunei-Muara District, mainly descendants of the Kampong Ayer people.[4] The name "Penabai" is derived from Bunu Abai, the name in Tutong language for the Bruneian Malay people.[4][5]
Facilities
[edit]Pengiran Muda Mahkota Primary School is the village primary school; it was inaugurated on 14 October 1962 by Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III, the then Sultan of Brunei.[4] It is named after Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah who was at that time the Crown Prince (Pengiran Muda Mahkota).[4]
Kampong Penabai Mosque, the village mosque, was established in 1981 initially as a surau.[4] The current building was built in 1993 and can accommodate 200 worshippers.[6]
