Kubur Kassim Cemetery
The historic site of Kubur Kassim, an old Malay Cemetery that is nestled in the heart of Siglap, is the final resting place of many Muslims in the area in the past. Several prominent people are buried there, including Dr. Hafeezudin Sirajuddin Moonshi, founder of the first Muslim Clinic in Singapore. This site, coupled with Masjid Kassim Cemetary located in Telok Kurau, originally belonged to Ahna Mohamed Kassim bin Ally Mohamed who was endowed with it in 1921.
For years, Kubur Kassim Cemetery has been a source of haunted tales. This may be due to the fact that some of its tombs are dedicated to Orang Bunian, a kind of supernatural human-like beings, often portrayed in Malay folklore.
Today the 2.02 hectares cemetery contains a distinctive yellow gate and is at least 90 over years old. Despite it being a cemetery it is entirely surrounded by landed houses and condominiums.
