Administration

Penanjong is a kampong subdivision, the third and lowest division of the country's territorial administration. It is part of Pekan Tutong, one of the eight mukims in Tutong District.[4] Penanjong is administered under the Mukim and Kampung Institution of the Tutong District Office.[5]

Infrastructure

There are two schools in Penanjong. Penanjong Primary School provides primary education from Pra (preschool) to Year 6.[6] Meanwhile, Penanjong Religious School provides primary religious education of similar grade levels for the resident Muslim pupils.[7] Both schools have their own grounds.

Inaugurated in 1984, Kampong Penanjong Mosque has since been the mosque for the need of its Muslim residents for congregational prayers, in particular Friday prayers.[8]
