Abstract
This article explores the cultural tradition of Perpatih, a practice observed in Malaysia's Negeri Sembilan and Melaka regions, rooted in Minangkabau heritage from Indonesia. Perpatih's foundation is in familial customs, encompassing social, economic, political, and legal aspects. The study examines the hierarchical customary law system, including Undang, Lembaga, Buapak, Perut, and the general public, with a democratic selection process for the Yamtuan. Perpatih's exogamous marriage system is also discussed. The article highlights the significance of a well-organised land management system for customary land. It delves into the Customary Tenure Enactment Chapter 215, detailing regulations for customary land inheritance and division. Abandoned customary land becomes a central concern, with factors contributing to abandonment explored, such as incomplete property division and location challenges. Through thematic review methodology, the study examines existing research on customary land in Negeri Sembilan. It identifies challenges in customary land management and discusses a proposed comprehensive forensic model utilising forensic science to address abandoned customary land. In conclusion, the article emphasises the importance of efficient customary land governance to prevent abandoned land and suggests the development of a forensic model to address this issue. Further research is recommended to enhance customary land management and uphold the rich cultural heritage of Perpatih.
