NEGRI SEMBILAN
DARUL KHUSUS
Negri
Sembilan literally means "Nine States" reflecting the
historical confederation of nine states, which were finally unified
under the Yam Tuan in 1889. These districts were under the rule
of nine separate Malay chieftains. Today, only seven out of the
nine districts remain; comprising Jelebu, Jempol, Kuala Pilah,
Port Dickson, Rembau, Seremban and Tampin. Seremban is the capital
of modern Negri Sembilan while its royal capital is Seri Menanti.
Seremban, a thriving capital city well connected to Kuala Lumpur,
a mere 50 kilometres away, by both road and rail.
Negri Sembilan is in the central region of the Malaysian Peninsula.
To its north is the state of Selangor, its east Pahang and to
the south lie Malacca and Johor. Negeri Sembilan is an area of
6,645 square kilometres of lovely valleys and plains which perfectly
set off rolling green hills and mountains. Negeri Sembilan's eastern
green mountainous terrain moves westward to gradually become rubber
and oil palm plantations stretching across its western region
While Seremban, as capital city, is the state's administration
and commercial hub; Seri Menanti is Negeri Sembilan's Royal Town.
History of Negri Sembilan
History of Negri Sembilan can be traced back to the 15th and 16th
centuries when Minangkabau settlers from Sumatra migrated to the
region during the era of the Melaka Sultanate. These settlers
initially settled in the regions of Naning, Sungei Ujong and Rembau,
which at the time were parts of the Johor-Riau Empire. In the
early centuries, Malaysia was dissected into little kingdoms ruled
by Sultans who often fought amongst themselves for power and position.
The Johor-Riau Empire at one time ruled lands from the Riau islands
to districts in Negri Sembilan.
The Empire eventually went into decline and this together with
the rise of the Bugis Sultanate in Melaka caused insurrections
in the districts of Rembau, Sungei Ujong, Johol and Ulu Muar in
1770. Following these insurrections, the people of those regions
invited a ruler from the royal house of Pagar Ruyong in their
Sumatra homeland to rule them. Raja Melewar was proclaimed the
first Yang Dipertuan Besar in Negri Sembilan in 1773. This dynasty
prevailed and sits on the throne to this day.
Trade with the Straits Settlement flourished when tin was found.
This however, led to fighting and unrest in Sungei Ujong, Rembau
and Jelebu paving the way for British intervention and ultimately
a British presence in the State in the form of the first British
Resident, Martin Lister. With the use of treaties, the British
brought the separate states closer to a federation and in 1889,
Yam Tuan Seri Menanti was installed as the ruler of all Negri
Sembilan. In 1896 Negri Sembilan became one of the Federated Malay
States and in 1948 became part of the Federation of Malaya which
finally achieved independence in 1957.
