Jementah

Jementah (Jawi: جمنته) is a mukim in Segamat District, Johor, Malaysia.

Another version stated that the villagers were bored and tired of removing leeches which sucked their blood when they were working, and therefore the combination of the words jemu and lintah which means leech in Malay formed the word Jementah.

With a total area of 228 km2, Jementah is the 5th largest mukim in Segamat District.
