WELCOME TO NEGERI SEMBILAN |
|
Negeri
Sembilan simply means 'Land of Nine
States'. The name is so-called because
it once comprised nine separate districts,
each ruled by a Malay Chieftain. Seremban,
its capital is easily accesible by road
and rail to Kuala Lumpur, about 50 kilometres
away. Among the main attractions of
the town are the Cultural Handicraft
complex, the State Museum, the State
Mosque and the Lake Gardens.
The
state is often associated with the
influence of Minangkabau migrants
from Sumatra who came during the settlement
era into Malaya long ago. The settlement
then led to its strong unique and
distinctive characteristic, best seen
in the architecture and styles reflected
in the construction of buildings as
well as homes. One unique feature
is the horn-shaped roof. The Minangkabaus
also brought with them their 'adat'
or traditions, in particular the matrilineal
kinship system. This system is evident
until today especially in the marriage
customs, ownership of property and
dance forms.
