“Peramu is a part of the water village collective though it is actually considered as a mukim itself. It is adjacent to the other six water village mukims. It borders Mukim Kianggeh to the north, Mukim Saba to the east, Mukim Sungai Kebun to the south and Mukim Burong Pingai Ayer to the west.”-Wiki
