Negeri Sembilan is home to the ancient tradition of Minangkabau. Distinguished by the distinctive Minangkabau architecture of sweeping roof design resembling the horns of a buffalo, Negeri Sembilan literally means ‘Nine States’, referring to the nine luak or districts that once made up the federation of Negeri Sembilan. Strongly embraced by rich customs and age-old traditions, Negeri Sembilan is a fine balance of the old and the new.
