THE Negri Sembilan royal family’s roots can be traced to Rembau. Raja Melewar was declared the first Yamtuan or Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan in 1773 here.

Known as Raja Mahmud before ascending the throne, Raja Melewar had arrived from Pagar Ruyong in western Sumatra, Indonesia – the Minangkabau heartland – at the invitation of local chieftains.
