Seri Menanti is the royal capital of the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Situated in the Kuala Pilah  district, it houses the seat of the head of state or Yamtuan Besar, the local equivalent of the Sultan. The royal palace is known as "Istana Besar".
The next day we will visit Seremban- the capital of the Malaysian  state of Negeri Sembilan, located within the district of Seremban, one of the seven districts of Negeri Sembilan. The town's administration is run by the Seremban Municipal Council or Majlis Perbandaran Seremban. On 9 September 2009, Seremban was to be declared as a city, however it was later deferred due to technical reasons.
