Before entering the main event, Mr. Abdurrahman started the guest lecture session with a statement “it is important for us to know and compare adat laws in other countries. Particularly in Malaysia as our neighboring country that tends to have a similar culture clumps and a country that shares a common culture family. And it is a golden opportunity to know what adat law looks like in the Malaysian legal system,” as said by Abdurrahman.

The varying customary law existed in cause by the geographic differences. Those customs such as (1) Malay adat in Sabah and Sarawak (2) native custom in Sabah and Sarawak (3) custom aborigines/orang native/orang asori (they have rights over the land) (4) Chinese customary law (5) Hindu customary law.

“A legal pluralism approach is used in Malaysia to provide different laws for different groups in society accordingly there are official laws and unofficial laws. There are 3 courts in Malaysia, one of them is the native court system that applies to native customs only in Sabah and Sarawak but is not applicable in the peninsula. Customary law in Malaysia should be proofed by the elders, experts or community prominent persons to give evidence in the court that this is part of custom’s practice and can be given force of law by the court.” As said by Prof. Dr. Farid Sufian bin Shuhain.

“As for Malay adat, there are Temenggung adat and Perpatih adat. Adat Perpatih has a connection with Custom Law in Indonesia because adat Perpatih is basically from Minang, West Sumatra. In history, there Is a community came from Sumatra and most of them arrived in Negeri Sembilan on the Peninsula, then they established there. They have their own applicable customary law in Negeri Sembilan and inheritance for example ‘Harta Ibu’. he continued.
