You are encouraged to be slightly early to avoid disappointments. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present. We start our trek from the Upper Thomson area through Macritchie Park and head to the Bukit Brown Cemetery. The cemetery is named after George Henry Brown, a Briton who came to Singapore in the 1840s. He bought land and built his home on what is today Mount Pleasant. The name Bukit Brown first appeared on a map in 1898 and is the first official hybrid English and Malay place name in Singapore. Bukit Brown Cemetery opened on 1 January 1922, a municipal cemetery administered by the British and opened to all Chinese, regardless of dialect group and status. This departed from the traditional practice of linking final resting places for Chinese exclusively to ties of kinship and dialect groups. We will end by having dinner together around the Toa Payoh area.
