Estates in Singapore that were once Graveyards
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Singapore is an island that has the most graveyards in the world. This is because of its strategic location in South East Asia that has made it an attractive hub for maritime navigators from all over the world to stopover and trade and eventually called this island, home. My quest to look for graves is to get a better understanding the diversity of the ancient societies here in Singapore which has made this island unique. Almost 90% of the graves of these early settlers have been exhumed to make way for commercial and residential development. Some people believe that houses built on graves bring about prosperity and luck. While others try to avoid living on them, fearing the spirits will affect their lives. Nevertheless, I can confidently say that the entire island were covered with graves. This evidently shows that Singapore has all time been a vibrant entrepot to the world. May the souls of our forefathers rest in peace. Without them, there is no prosperous Singapore today.

I wonder if the National Archives of Singapore is recognising your work. They should be supporting your exellent work. I'm serious. You deserve the recognitions of this and other research you had done in such a scale. Well done. Keep going! 👍👍👍
Alhamdulilah abang Emy. Thank you so much for your kind encouragements. Their organisation have commissioned me to do heritage walks for several programs, yet my application for a grant was constantly turned down. Reason is I am not a historian. The only channel is via RUclips. I just do these stories for everyone abang. I may not be recognised through the eyes of the Board, but I constantly feel rewarded from the appreciation you and friends has given and I think that is enough. Thank you Abang, more stories to come.
I like your passion and spirit. In my defination you are a historian. Period.
Brilliant work Sarafian!
@@kreigmoralez Thank you very much. Have a blessed Friday ya :-)
@@sarafiansalleh6200 Assalamualaikum bro.. Thank you very much for all this history of cemeteries.. Especially all the Keramats.. I only know Keramat Habib Noh.. Never knew some of the Keramats existed.. Thank you and great job.. May Allah bless you 🤲
....well done....5 🍿 popcorns
This is only half of the areas covered beside yishun and north districts but keep up the hard work thanks!
Thank you sir. What other areas have I missed? Thank you🙏🏻☺️
Current nee ann city and ion Orchard is a teochew cemetery and even included opposite the current Paragon also same and former tengah is a bukit batok cemetery 😂
Yes you are rignt Bro.
seems everywhere is haunted hahaha, thanks for uploading this informative video, I had visited Bidadari at Upper Serangoon years back for a photoshoot, unfortunately it's all flats now. Really liked the place as it was quiet, tranquil, peaceful and the gravestones and stone statues were beautiful. It felt like overseas.
Thank you for your appreciation Sephira. YEs we are not alone, there are spirits everywhere. Yes Bidadari is totally urbanised and I do see photographers headed to the Japanese Cemetery at Yo Chu Kang for their tranquil photoshoot
Excellent research and effort Sarafian ! Bring back many memories that should not be forgotten for future generations.
Thank you so much Mr Woon. Yes I hope this video serves as memories of our ancestors that has made our Nation a unique place to live.
This is a Unique Video of Historical Significance…. PAP will pbly not be too Pleased with this Video Bcz it’s Consistent with Lee Kuan Yew’s Known Land Grab Habits… LKY Looted and Plundered ALL Significant Arab Land Holdings …
Thank you for compiling these invaluable knowledge on the past graves and what the places are today. When there are chills down our spines when we walk through these places at night, we know why. We are more respectful of places in Singapore, not just for the the present buildings and residence but also, the people of the past, who were once burried here. May they rest in peace....
Thank you for your contribution along the way and sharing with me your 'spooked' thoughts. Yes there are residents and hikers that has felt the chill today. Besides imagination, skepticsbelieved that its just the diet of the day that made one feel tingled. The human eye can only see 3% of the light spectrum. The other 97% is hidden and that's where spirits could be visible. Yes I agree with you, may this video brings about more awareness and respectful of the places in Singapore.
It's a complete documentary. I learned something new about Singapore
Thank you very much my friend.
Bring back memory where I used to took cut across through the Christian cemetery in Bidadari from Upper Aljunied road to Upper Serangoon road to school.
There was a Chinese cemetery behind Masjid Al Ansar before it was developed into Chai Chee HDB flats.
Thank you Rasidah.
Great work abang! Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing!

InsyaAllah nanti saya akan buat cerita2 penduduk dari pulau2 Singapura dan akan di-Video kan
So much for resting in peace. America has the same situation today.
Didn’t know Singapore has sooo many graveyards in the past 😳
Yes I agree with you too. Singapore island was basically a graveyard once upon a time
@@sarafiansalleh6200 In Chinese coffin is call Guan Jai meaning Prosperity Gate.
@@Utube1024 thank you for the info Bro🙏🏻☺️🫡🇸🇬
This is an interesting video! please do a video about Pasir panjang Batu 6 Haw par villa 😁
Will do Bro 🙂
You used at least 8 of my photographs without providing credit, small detail but reveals laziness on your part. Apart from that great collage.
I truly apologize. I will write your good name at the description of this video. Hope you accept it. How would you like to write your good-name on my description kind sir?
Thank you @trayapeh
Awesome video bro. Thanks for tough research gone into this work. 3:19 This grave site is on a hill at Holland Road beside HDB blocks 11, 12 & 13. You can see Holland Village in this photo. I used to slide down this hill slope with cardboard boxes in 80's, of cuz the cemetery was gone by then. It was a park the last time I was there many many years ago.
Jadi.. kuburan Waliyullah disana juga kena gusur ya? Pantas saja ketika datang ke Singapura in 1999, i felt different aura in some spots.
There is too much cemetery on a small island. Congratulations on progressive methods, singapore
I believe ada lagi kubur yg tak di cover dalam video ni apa pon great work abang!
Yes bro Dani. There are more cemeteries that I have yet to list out. Thank you for watching bro
My olde hood Lengkok Bahru was also a cemetery. There were like 2 instances when digging works were done & human remains were uncovered. When I moved into the area at about 4 years old, the place was a Chinese cemetery the whole stretch where the Redhill MRT station is now.
Thank you for sharing your story Michael. When they exhumed the remains, it will never be 100% cleared.
I still remember vividly when my late granny moved from Ganges ave ( sit flat) to leng kee Rd at the back of our zinc roof house was a chinese cemetery back then I was only about 6 year old
Thankyou for sharing this. Lived in Singapore n the sixties. I know things change but it's so sad.
excuse me for asking but are you related to the Cutler who was the drummer in the band called THE BANANA BENDING SOCIETY ?
@@ashleyjansen9753 Not that I no off. Live in North East Lincs England UK
Pine Grove condo sat on a former cemetery as well
pretty sure back then every kampong have their own graveyard. that explains why there are so many of them
Yes you are right Bro. Every kampong had its own mosque, temples and graveyards
@@sarafiansalleh6200yup. i live in a kampong area in malaysia and pretty much every kampung have their own graveyard and mosques
Bro jalan anak patung near simpang bedok also a chinese cementry last time . . I got map year 1978 but was thrown by my mother . . This include jalan singa n jalan anak patung
Thank u so much bro thats a great piece of information
Do you do guided tours? If so, how do we engage you?
Sekarang baru ku faham kenapa Nell Hanan tengok banyak hantu kat sana. Ini rupanya.
It seems like Singapore is literally a city built on cemeteries.
You are aboulutely right☺️🙏🏻
Yes, dulu dulu these area were tanah kubur.
The entire Singapore was once a cemetery
Teringat semasa tinggal di Lorong Liew Lian suatu ketika dulu.
Iyya di sebelah sana tapak tanah perkuburan Cina. Block mana yang Bro tinggal di Lorong Lew Lian?
That explained my paranormal experience when i was warded at KKWCH.
Do share with me SKMurano.
Have a great weekend
Buddy, u know how old the hospital is..
One of the most haunted HDB estate is at Bedok North Street 3
Because jalan singa used to be cementry . . Just behind bedok reservoir
Yes Bro, 9th division camp in selarang
Hello "'Datuk-Tanah...!!!"'🙏🏼😉 U forgot to include dates of those ex-cementaries...!!! Dates of past, present and maybe futures...!!!☝️👍🙏🏼👏😉
Thank you for your effort. 🙏🏻
Thank u for ur appreciation Sir🙏🏻☺️
Didn’t know we have so many cemeteries 😊
@@arstiahsu793 that’s why singapore is so multiculturally complex, yet harmonious and unique😇

SOme agents came to me and say that property buyers are looking for 'spiritual' grounds....and graves were their best option
@@sarafiansalleh6200 They will float in mid air while sleeping at night.
👌👍🙏
Thank you☺️
Singapore is beautiful Chinese city. I am proud to be Chinese.
Singapore is Malay city. Nothing to do with Chinese.
No offense, but pls do your research 1st before you say Singapore is a Chinese city.. It's a Malay city
Stop Spreading fake propaganda. Malays do not belong to singapore. Even new MRT place name announcements in Chinese and English. You are delusional
Even raffles also learn speak malay .from munsyi abdullah bro
