Bukit Brown Cemetery is slated for redevelopment, so the more we must archive them in memory……..
INTRICATE carvings of dragons and phoenixes, and other Chinese mythological creatures decorate many tombstones lying in the Bukit Brown Chinese Cemetery.
Not only that, the cemetery is also a storehouse of the history of prominent pioneers of the Chinese community here…. (Neo Hui Min, ST, 20 May 2002)
