Teromba is one of the traditional Malay poems in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. These traditional Malay poems discuss Adat Pepatih that been practices among the community as a lifestyle, particularly in the family aspect. The first objective of this study is to boost up the legacy of teromba in the research framework due to the threat of extinction in the modern era. The second objective is to analyse teromba in the context of family customs that become one of the values of the perpatih community in Negeri Sembilan and the value of beauty contained in this poem. The third objective is to examine the efforts that have made to preserve this poetry in order to remain for a more extended period. The main issue that will be analyzed in this paper is whether Teromba is the only exposure to customs solely or contributes to the values such as the use of natural elements in the creation of this traditional poem? Next issue is whether any efforts had made to ensure that teromba continues to exist throughout the ages? The methodology of this study will use the conceptual framework of cultural studies as a back up to see teromba as one of the crucial elements in the practice of traditional society until modern times. This study will focus on the teromba reversed in writing that has been recorded by a scholar before. Furthermore, the study is significant because it can lift back the legacy of teromba which may be forgotten one day and also able to stifle the importance of teromba in communities that practice Perpatih Customs in Negeri Sembilan.
