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 6323 9829.
