SLA to start exhumation of graves at
Kwong Hou Sua Cemetery
The Singapore Land Authority will soon start the final phase of
the exhumation of graves at the Kwong Hou Sua Teochew Cemetery off
Woodlands Road.
The land, which is about 70,000 square metres, is planned for
industrial developments.
Last month, the Land Transport Authority started the earlier
phase of the exhumation for the portion of the land required for
the Downtown Line depot development.
About 1,000 graves will be affected.
SLA says the next-of-kin or descendants can register their
claims of their ancestor’s remains by April the 17th next year.
Public exhumation is scheduled to start from March and to be
completed by end June 2009.
Claimants can obtain more information from the SLA Enquiry Line
