Masjid Jamek Seremban, Port Dickson Beaches and Masak Lemak Cili Api Dish

Built in 1900, Masjid Jamek Seremban is believed to be the oldest mosque in the state and among the oldest in the country. Despite having the finest beaches south of Kuala Lumpur in Port Dickson, the state’s tourism revenue is still low, which has prompted the new administration to do even more to attract tourists.

Unlike its neighbors which attract tourists from all over the world, the bulk of tourists visiting Negri Sembilan are locals who usually make day trips to eco-tourism destinations still unknown to many outsiders. Many others come to the state to sample its popular dishes such as the spicy Minangkabau staple dish masak lemak cili api, nasi padang, Hakka mee, handmade traditional cakes and curry chicken bun.

Local Community Can Also Play a Role in Promoting Tourism

Accordingly, the Negeri Sembilan government has vowed to look at the bigger picture to get more tourists to come to the state. Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun, who also assumed the tourism portfolio last May, said his administration will focus more on promoting homestay program, water sports, traditional dishes such as the popular Javanese cuisine nasi ambeng, local cultural dances as well as its heritage trail to pull in the tourism ringgit, among others.

“We need to diversify and look at more ways to get tourists to come to Negeri Sembilan. “One way to do this is to promote our homestays like the one in Desa Pachitan, our traditional dances under the Colours of Negeri Sembilan banner and water sports events such as snorkeling, fishing and jet skiing,” he said. Aminuddin said the local community can also play a role in promoting tourism and benefit from it by organizing activities such as batik painting and dining while sitting cross-legged on the floor (makan bersilo), as well as selling local dishes such as nasi ambeng.
