Yang Di-Pertuan Besar (YDPB) Negeri Sembilan’s Birthday Malaysia Holiday 2024

Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan's Birthday, often referred to as "YDPB Negeri Sembilan's Birthday," is a state public holiday observed in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan. This holiday celebrates the birthday of the reigning Yang di-Pertuan Besar (YDPB) or Ruler of Negeri Sembilan.

The Yang di-Pertuan Besar is the constitutional monarch or Ruler of Negeri Sembilan. Negeri Sembilan is one of the states in Malaysia that maintains a unique system of rotational monarchy among nine noble families known as the "Undang." The Yang di-Pertuan Besar serves as the ceremonial head of the state.

The date of YDPB Negeri Sembilan's Birthday varies from year to year, as it is based on the birthdate of the current ruler. Each ruler has a different birthdate, so the holiday's date changes with each new ruler. In 2024, Negeri Sembilan will celebrate YDPB Negeri Sembilan’s Birthday public holiday on 14th January.

Negeri Sembilan is one of the 13 states in Malaysia, located on the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Its name, "Negeri Sembilan," means "Nine States" in Malay, but the state is divided into nine districts rather than being composed of nine separate states.

The administrative capital of Negeri Sembilan is Seremban, which is also the largest city in the state.

Negeri Sembilan offers several tourist attractions, including historical sites, cultural landmarks, and natural beauty. Some popular destinations include Seri Menanti Palace, the Royal Museum, Port Dickson's beaches, and Jelebu's lush rainforests.

Negeri Sembilan is famous for its unique cuisine, which includes dishes like "siew pao" (baked buns), "rendang" (a flavorful meat dish), and "lemang" (glutinous rice cooked in bamboo).
