Jementah
Jementah is a mukim in Segamat District, Johor, Malaysia. Name There are two versions of stories of how Jementah got its name. The first version was during the foundation of a village which later became Jementah town center, some villagers complained, ''"Jemu, jemu, jemu! Asyik-asyik menebas lalang saja!"'' which literally meant that they felt bored for only cutting long grasses, and the others replied, ''"Entah, entah, entah!"'' (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!). From the Malay words ''jemu'' and ''entah'', local residents believed that the combination of those words formed the word ''Jementah''. 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''. History Jementah was once a site of the historic civil war in modern Johor history known as Jementah Civil War on 25 Oc ...

Background Johor was ruled by Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim as the de facto Maharajah of Johor who was more favored than Sultan Ali. As a compromise, Sultan Ali was granted a fiefdom over Muar region, while Temenggong Ibrahim ruled the rest of Johor. Following Sultan Ali's death in 1877, the custody of the Kesang territory lay in the hands of Ungku Jalil, Sultan Ali's elder brother. Colonel Edward Anson, the acting Governor of the Straits Settlements, instituted an election for the Temenggong Paduka Tuan of Muar and the territory's chi ...

A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or fictional, without regard to context or scale, such as in brain mapping, DNA mapping, or computer network topology mapping. The space being mapped may be two dimensional, such as the surface of the earth, three dimensional, such as the interior of the earth, or even more abstract spaces of any dimension, such as arise in modeling phenomena having many independent variables. Although the earliest maps known are of the heavens, geographic maps of territory have a very long tradition and exist from ancient times.
