Tuanku Sir Muhammad Shah ibni Almarhum Tuanku Antah
In June 1887, he was declared as Yamtuan as recognised by British authority. Sir Tuanku Muhammad Shah re-established the traditional constitution with the four Undangs (Lawgivers) and, on 29 April 1898, he was duly elected by the four Undangs as Yang di-Pertuan Besar; the first election under the modern re-constituted Negeri Sembilan. He was installed on 7 May 1898 [1] at Seri Menanti.
After a reign of 45 years, in 1933, he died at the age of 68. He was buried at the Seri Menanti Royal Mausoleum.
He is regarded as the father of Negeri Sembilan's modernisation. After his death, an English school in

Tuanku Muhammad oversaw the building of both the Istana Lama (presently the Royal Museum of Seri Menanti), and the Istana Besar.
Death
Tuanku Muhammad died on 1 August 1933, shortly before 3pm at the Istana Lama.[2] Shortly after his death, his brother the Tunku Besar Burhanuddin summoned the Penghulus of Luak Tanah Mengandung (the area around Seri Menanti), comprising the Datos of Ulu Muar, Jempol, Terachi and Gunung Pasir. This was then followed by a 22-gun salute.[2]
The four principal Lembagas of Ulu Muar then conveyed the news of the Tuanku's passing to the four Undangs.[2]
His body was left to lay in state the day after his death. He was buried on the third day after his death following the proclamation of his successor. The coffin was transported from the Istana on a specially-adapted lorry drawn by the Pegawai Sembilan-puluh sembilan, accompanied by the Orang Ampat Astana and the Ulama. The traditional Maharaja di-raja ceremonial carriage led the procession, carrying the Treasurer and dispensers of Sadaqah. The procession by the mourners was, in order: the newly-proclaimed Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Abdul Rahman; senior members of the royal family; the anak putra putri with the chiefs and representatives of other Rulers and of high Government officials; other mourners; and the late-King's subjects. A 68-gun salute, corresponding to Tuanku Muhammad's life was fired.[2]
Tuanku Muhammad was succeeded by his eldest and the then-Tunku Muda Serting, Tunku Abdul Rahman as the eighth Yang di-Pertuan Besar, having been unanimously chosen by the four Undangs.[2]
