Adat Temenggong
Adat Temenggong is a traditional legal system practiced by the Malay community, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia. It encompasses customs, practices, and norms that govern social behavior and community interactions. This system emphasizes the importance of maintaining harmony and resolving disputes through mediation rather than formal legal proceedings.
The principles of Adat Temenggong are often passed down through generations, reflecting the values and beliefs of the community. It plays a crucial role in preserving cultural identity and ensuring that social order is maintained, often addressing issues related to family, property, and community responsibilities.
