The YBAM Negeri Sembilan State Liaison Committee is the last YBAM SLC established in the country. Compared with other states, the forming of the Negeri Sembilan SLC has a different chain of causes. Negeri Sembilan SLC was officially established in 1990 and has entered its 30th anniversary this year; as early as the 1980s, many young Buddhists from the Negeri Sembilan state have been actively involved in promoting and participating various Buddhist activities and Dharma talks. In addition to being active within the state, some passionate Buddhist youths even participated in national activities across other states, e.g. National Dharma Walk!

In addition to being active within the state, some passionate Buddhist youths even participated in national activities across other states, e.g. National Dharma Walk!

After the establishment, Negeri Sembilan SLC encouraged the formation of Buddhist youth organisations in other districts. The organisations which have joined YBAM (in sequence) are Persatuan Penganut Agama Buddha Titi, Jelebu, Persatuan Agama Buddha Prajna Seremban, and Rantau Buddhist Association. To this day, there are 6 Member Organisations within Negeri Sembilan SLC: Persatuan Agama Buddha Prajna Seremban; Rantau Buddhist Association; Persatuan Penganut Agama Buddha Pertang; Persatuan Penganut Agama Buddha Kampung Baru Dangi; Persatuan Penganut Agama Buddha Titi, Jelebu, and Persatuan Penganut Agama Buddha Triang Hilir.

The YBAM Cup 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament is a brand activity promoted by Negeri Sembilan SLC in recent years. This tournament has been held for four consecutive years since 2016. Besides attracting youths to learn about Buddhism, the event has also built close partnerships with the local community and non-Buddhist organisations. For example, in 2018, the event received help from the resident’s association and community foundation. In 2019, the tournament was also jointly organised by the Young Malaysians Movement Negeri Sembilan and Negeri Sembilan Basketball Association Seremban Branch.

Negeri Sembilan SLC has maintained a good relationship with the 7 secondary school Buddhist societies in the state. Negeri Sembilan SLC provides annual sponsorship to the Buddhist societies, and share resources together.

With the 30-year establishment, Negeri Sembilan SLC has nurtured many brilliant Buddhist leaders and committee members. With everyone coming together upholding the Dharma and Buddhism, we sincerely hope that Buddhism can shape Negeri Sembilan into a society of wisdom, compassion, and gratitude.
