We,as a group found it very interesting that this plot of land, the Kubor Muslim Cemetery, still exists at the heart of the very busy Bugis area! We did not capture any snapshots of the cemetery as a mark of respect to dead. (hehe)
This cemetery was labelled as the "Tombs of the Malayan Princes" on J.B Tassin's 1836map. Wow! How interesting! We were surprised as we did not know that the dead buried in this cemetery were from the royal family. Another interesting point to take note of is that this cemetery is the oldest recorded Malay cemetery in Singapore.
