Negeri Sembilan

 

Introduction

The most significant feature of Negeri Sembilan is the influence of the Minangkabaus from Sumatra in Indonesia. This influence is seen in the buffalo-horned shaped roofs of the many buildings and the practice of matrilineal system in many households.

History

The Minangkabau People of Sumatra came to settle in Negeri Sembilan in the 15th century. They were under the protection of the Melaka Sultanate until its collapse  in 1511 when the Portuguese arrived. Thereafter they became the vassal of the Johor Sultanate until the 18th century when it had become weak. Attacks by the Bugis forced the Minangkabaus to seek protection from a prince from their homeland. Raja Melewar of Pagar Ruyong.

 The resulted in the proclamation  of Raja Melewar as the first Yang Dipertuan Besar (meaning 'He who is Greatest') of Negeri Sembilan in 1773. Subsequent civil wars among the nine Malay chieftains resulted in the British appointing a British Resident in 1895. Today Negeri Sembilan is still not ruled by a sultan but by the Yang Dipertuan Besar.

In the early 15th century , the Minangkabau people from Sumatra came to settle bringing with them their adat perpatih , a maritrilineal system where the wife is the head of the household and inheritance passes from the mother to the daughter. The Minangkabaus are divided into twelve suku or clans, and marriage between between members of the same clan is forbidden.
