Step into one of Singapore’s most charming and historic cemeteries, far from eerie and brimming with tranquillity. Bukit Brown Cemetery is not your typical burial ground; it’s a serene escape perfect for a weekend stroll, a jog, or even a leisurely walk with your dog. Though it may seem ancient, the last burial here took place as recently as 1973. Over the past decade, this peaceful spot has become a favourite among locals and adventurers alike, offering a unique blend of history, nature, and quiet reflection.
Join me on a captivating journey through time, as we explore stories dating back to 1850. Uncover the fascinating tale of how Singapore’s super-rich built their fortunes – and how their descendants lost it all. Hear the seldom-told story of Low Nong Nong, a pauper whose life and death reveal the struggles and sacrifices of our forefathers in shaping the nation we know today.
From the grand tombs of the wealthy to the humble resting places at Paupers’ Hill, Bukit Brown is a treasure trove of untold stories and forgotten histories. Nestled among its little hills and knolls, this cemetery offers more than just a walk – it’s a journey through Singapore’s past, set against a backdrop of rustic beauty and peaceful surroundings.
