ABSTRACT
The "perahu" also known as boat is used by the Malay community during the Holocene
period when rising of sea levels alters the Malay world and become an island and peninsula.
The "perahu" becomes important not only as a navigational tool but serves as a shelter during
the movement. As sailing is a part of Malay way of life, many perahu manifestations are
often being seen in housing construction. The objectives of this paper are to outline the
features of perahu used around Negeri Sembilan traditional house - architecture with
kajang perahu analogy and to raise questions on what are the similarity terminology
between perahu and house. The questions look through literature review analysis and to
identify on which elements and components are related to the house.
