Historical Background of Rembau
Minangkabau Migration:
- The Minangkabau people from Sumatra, Indonesia, migrated to the Malay Peninsula in the 14th and 15th centuries, bringing their customs and matrilineal system (Adat Perpatih).
- This migration led to the establishment of several Luak (territorial divisions), including Rembau.
