The origins of this lawlessness can be traced back to Toa Payoh in the s and 60s. Much of these gangster activities spilled over to Kampong San Teng, which was considered an extension of Toa Payoh. On 25 June , two men were caught with over one ton of unpaid-duties tobacco. The mob surrounded the police, allowing the criminals to escape in the scuffle.

These secret societies were also hostile to one another. Armed with parangs and guns, they often clashed with each other on the hills. The police were understandably hesitant to enter the cemetery and rarely patrolled the area, not to mention taxi drivers who avoided the place altogether.

Seeking Refuge among the Dead. On 13 February , during the Second World War, a critical battle between the British and the Japanese took place on the cemetery grounds.

The first engagement was a surprise hit-and-run bayonet attack at Shortly after, the fighting intensified and both sides suffered heavy losses. Still, the 2nd Cambridgeshire Regiment managed to hold their position on knoll No. The final orders came on 15 February at 3. Approximately two hours later, General Percival officially surrendered to the Japanese.

During the start of the Japanese invasion, especially after the bombing of Chinatown, many Chinese — most famously the Samsui women — moved to seek refuge among the tombs. Not only did a fierce battle take place in Peck San Theng, the kampong was also bombed by the Japanese. Lim Choo Sye recounts:. It was the first time I had A few people died, killed by the blasts, not so much by the bombing.

“Who would enjoy the sun if it never rained? Who would yearn for the day if there were no night?”

There were a few limbs hanging on trees and all the trees had no more leaves. Nevertheless, while the kampong cemetery was ravaged during the Japanese invasion, life during the occupation itself was rather peaceful. Compared to the urban city areas, the Japanese left the kampong cemetery relatively untouched.

The place was spared due to a few possible reasons: the Japanese fears of offending the dead, the importance of the village as a food producer, and the perception that the rural Chinese were less dangerous than their urban counterparts. Those who sought refuge among the dead recalled that they were never called up for forced labour or screenings Sook Ching operations and lived a safe life in Kampong San Teng.

From Peck San to Bishan. In September , the government issued an order to stop all fresh burials and closed the cemetery. The notice for exhumation was given in November and from to , Peck San was redeveloped into Bishan Town.

He asks you how many passengers you saw waiting on the platform. Even today, Bishan station is considered one of the most haunted places in Singapore.

There are many different stories of faceless, headless, or other worldly beings terrorising the station at night, all fuelled by the fact that the station does sit over former graves. When the place started getting more popular with people because it was quite central, then things got twisted around And, yeah, conveniently forget all these ghost stories. In many ways, the legacy of the dead is reflected in the lives of the living. What is currently home to some 90, Singaporeans was once an idyllic resting place for more than , Chinese migrants.

Yet, in this process of turning squatters to citizens, many former kampong residents feel a sense of longing for the past; a sense that they have lost a familiar way of life, relationships, and people, in exchange for modernity and a new way of life. Price View: Large Edit cover.
