The Jalan Kubor cemetery is about 170 years old. Some of their descendents still live in Singapore. "The Jalan Kubor Cemetery grounds are part of the royal town established in Kampong Gelam, the Kota Raja, which enjoyed water frontage (along what is Beach Road today) and included an encircling palisade and a number of tall gateways. According to a Berita Harian article dated 25 September 1984, Sultan Ali Iskandar Shan (Sultan Hussein’s son) opened the burial grounds to the public on 26 August 1848. The cemetery, with its close proximity to royal territory, made it a popular cemetery of choice for rich Malay merchants during the 1800s to early 1900s." - Roots.Sg . . #Singapore #sgheritage #sghistory #JalanKubor #jalankuborcemetery #gravestone #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #sgculture #malay #SgBicentennial #huaweip30pro #lovinsingapore #whatissingapore #SgAutumn #cityinagarden #ThisIsSingapore #treesg #sgnature #sgparks (at Jalan Kayu-Fernvale) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Fbbt8HpUa/?igshid=17tut93biit7h

A quiet rest from the past, part of which will be gone in the near future. "The Jalan Kubor cemetery features tombstones with inscriptions in a diversity of languages and writing systems, reflecting the indigenous peoples of Singapore, including Malay, Javanese script, Buginese Lontara script, Arabic, English, Mandarin and Gujarati." - Wikipedia . .

A green oasis in the midst of town where the past lies. . . "Parts of Jalan Kubor Cemetery used to be a mangrove swamp, and according to 19th century reports, there were 3 distinct burial plots – a Malay cemetery, the Sultan’s burial ground located within the cemetery and a cemetery for Indian muslims. The name “Jalan Kubor” translates directly into “Cemetery Road” and the cemetery is also known by different names including Sultan Kramat, Victoria Street Cemetery, Sultan’s Burial Ground etc." - roots.sg . . #Singapore #sgheritage #sghistory #JalanKubor #jalankuborcemetery #gravestone #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #sgculture #malay#SgBicentennial #huaweip30pro #lovinsingapore #whatissingapore #SgAutumn #cityinagarden (at Jalan Kubor Cemetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FNdNLn7BQ/?igshid=158r9xg8vxjxw

"The Jalan Kubor Cemetery is the oldest Muslim cemetery in Singapore. Located off Victoria Street, it contains the graves of many prominent Malays and Muslims from the 19th and 20th centuries. The cemetery is made up of three sections: one plot reserved for Malay royalty, an adjoining site for Muslim burials that came under the care of the Aljunied family, and a third area originally designated for Indian Muslims that later became popular with Bugis and Banjar merchants." - Singapore Infopedia #Singapore #sgheritage #sghistory #JalanKubor #jalankuborcemetery #gravestone #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #sgculture #malay #SgBicentennial #Autumn #autumnvibes #autumnvibes🍁 #Autumnleaves #huaweip30pro #lovinsingapore #whatissingapore #SgAutumn #cityinagarden (at Jalan Kubor Cemetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FMtmxHjx6/?igshid=nim2lq4e5dj4
