Economy & Culture of Seremban

Economy
Seremban is the business and commercial centre for most towns and villages in Negeri Sembilan. Hence, during the weekends, residents from outlying areas come to Seremban by commuter train or buses to shop in Seremban. It is also more preferable because of the lower prices as compared to Kuala Lumpur.

Shopping complexes in Seremban include Jusco Seremban 2, Wisma Punca Emas, KM Plaza, Centre Point, Giant Hypermarket, Seremban Parade, The Store, Terminal 1, Tesco Extra and Era Square.

Culture
Historically, Negeri Sembilan is influenced by the Minangkabau's and thus, Seremban is the centre of the Minangkabau culture in Malaysia. Minangkabau, derived from the Malay word menang kerbau, which means "winning buffalo", are famous for their unique roof architecture which resembles buffalo horns. Many buildings in Seremban adapted this feature, such as the Seremban Municipal Council Hall, the Wisma Negeri and the State Museum. People of Negeri Sembilan are also known for the practice of an ancient Malay tradition called Adat Perpatih, where women are given a higher social status than men.
