Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim has emphasized the urgent need to safeguard the Adat Perpatih matrilineal customary system. He advocates for the use of digital technology, academic research, and heritage education to ensure these traditions endure for future generations. According to the leader, protecting this cultural legacy is a collective duty involving government agencies, educational institutions, and the local community. Beyond mere tradition, Adat Perpatih represents a foundational philosophy centered on consensus, justice, and mutual accountability. To improve public engagement and understanding, the state plans to prioritize the documentation of oral histories and traditional practices through accessible, interactive platforms. By integrating modern methods with historical preservation, officials aim to prevent the erosion of this unique cultural identity over time.
