SINGAPORE: Graves at a 140-year-old church cemetery in Jurong will soon be exhumed to make way for homes in the new town of Tengah.In August, the Housing Board and National Environment Agency published an exhumation notice for the old cemetery, which said next of kin have until April 30, 2025, to register their claims for affected graves.
The exact number of graves will be known only after exhumation works are completed. The cemetery is currently not accessible to the public due to ongoing works at the site. According to a St John’s Chapel publication in 2004, the church was built on a 1.2ha plot of land donated by one of its four baptised members – a man called Hong Seng.
He pointed out that the cemetery contains two rare gravestones with inscriptions indicating that they belonged to people who were born during the reign of the Chinese Jiaqing Emperor, who ruled from 1796 to 1820. Angela Chong’s family has made a claim, having discovered in the last few years that her great-grandfather – the father of her paternal grandmother – is buried in the old cemetery.
