Kampong Penabai
Etymology
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. The name "Penabai" is derived from Bunu Abai, the name in Tutong language for the Bruneian Malay people.
