NEGRI SEMBILAN
This is a group of seven States--Johol, Tampin, Sri Menanti, Jempol, Rembau, Sungei Ujong and Jelebu, the two latter having been confederated with the original group of five in 1895. They occupy together some 2,550 square miles of the interior of the peninsula, bounded on the north and east by Pahang, on the west by Malacca, and on the south by Johore. The five States originally known as the Negri Sembilan were brought under British protection by Sir Frederick Weld in 1883, and by an agreement with the respective chiefs, signed on the 13th July, 1889, they were con- federated as one Residency. They are governed by the native chiefs or penghulus, assisted by the British Resident and Magistrates under him.
Under the later scheme of confederation, brought into force in 1895, by which Sungei Ujong and Jelebu were brought in, there are five districts, viz., Seremban, the Coast Jelebu, Kuala Pilah, and Tampin. Seremban is the head office, where the Resident and heads of departments reside. Heads of departments are for the whole State, and thus a double staff is saved, as had two States remained alone it would have been necessary, as the Negri Sembilan developed, to make further appointments of European officers. The political affinity of the States is undoubted, and the same tribal and customary laws exist in both, together with the system of the election of the chiefs. The population of the Negri Sembilan at the 1921 census was 178,762, of whom 77,648 were Malays, 65,171 Chinese, and 33,658 Indians.
Sungei Ujong and Jelebu have together an area of about 1,200 square miles, and a range of hills in the north attain a height of about 3,800 feet, the slopes of which have been pronounced by Ceylon planters as most suitable for the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, and other tropical products. On the lower ground, nearer the coast, tapioca is suc- cessfully cultivated, but during recent years tapioca, coffee and coconut cultiva- tion have been abandoned very largely in favour of rubber.
