A cool chill blew across the rolling grass of Bukit Brown.It woke up Tan Kim Ching (son of Tan Tock Seng).
He yelled out to his friend resting below, Cheang Hong Lim (Speakers’ Corner): You feel that, Hong Lim?”
Hong Lim shuddered and nodded: “Let’s go find out what’s happening.”
Together they stroll down the lonely path till they came up Lim Chong Pang (Chong Pang Market), a handsome young man, and his mother, Mrs Lim Nee Soon (Yishun Estate).
Mrs Lim looked at the 2 elderly gentlemen strolling towards them and ask: “Is it time?”
No one had the answer, and the group decided to cross the valley and ask others.
Gan Eng Seng (Gan Eng Seng School) came down from his hill and met them. The group, now slightly larger than when it started, visited Chew Boon Lay (Boon Lay MRT), who was resting.
Together they climbed the hill to Ong Sam Leong (Biggest Grave in Singapore), who was with his sons Boon Tat (Boon Tat Street) and Peng Hock (Joint owner of New World Amusement Park)
From the that highest point in Bukit Brown, Boon Lay shouted across the hills to Teh Ho Swee (Bukit Ho Swee), who was with his family, a distance away.
“Do you know what’s happening?” Boon Lay yelled.
“ I don’t know.” Ho Swee shouted back, dropping whatever he was doing and running to join the group. “Could it be related to the Bukit Brown MRT being constructed behind me?”
The wind blew stronger as if to answer him, and the group moves down the hill.
Along the way, they were joined by Tan Kheam Hock (Kheam Hock Road), Tan Boo Liat (Great Grandson of Tan Tock Seng), Tan Ean Kiam (OCBC Founder), Khoo Lay Tin (Father of Khoo Tech Puat [Hospital]).
The group, now considerably larger, swelling in size as other Notables and their families joined the march towards the Bukit Brown Cemetery Gate.
“Wait up!” came a voice from behind, as Chew Joo Chiat (Joo Chiat Place) came running from behind and joined the group.
Now nearing the Gate, Ang Seah Im (Seah Im Food Center) stopped the group and hushed everyone.
“Can you hear that?”
There are distinct sounds of machinery in the air, rumbling of metal crawlers across cart tracks.
‘Is this the end?” Someone wailed from behind.
“But our stories are not told yet!”
“We once lived! Please don’t! Remember us please!”
The wind howled louder…………
