Although no specific individuals are directly associated with Adat Rewang, community leaders, such as village heads, play an essential role in coordinating the activities.

Rewang has successfully preserved the traditional values of Johorean society, remaining a respected practice amidst modernisation. Efforts to document this tradition through academic research and media publications ensure its continued relevance and transmission to future generations.
