    I wonder how is Mr. Chua doing at present. Blessings of health to him.
    Btw, he mentioned seeing an apparition around 3:30-4:00 am which is well within the time-frame of the so-called demonic witching hour.

    I am a Teochewese from Hong Kong, despite I hv relatives from Singapore...however most of my ancestors still buried in Teochew...I reluctantly did the same thing like what the young man doing for tombstones which lasted for at least half of the century as a child during Ching Ming festivals. I feel emotional after watching this clip....I hope the whole cemetery will last forever like my great grandparents one in Teochew.

      Bukit Brown is a Chinese cemetery. However, Sikhs used to symbolize guardians/protectors as they were well known Guards during the British colonial era. As such, many people choose to put statues of Sikh guards to guard their graves
