Fort Canning Cemetery was one of the first burial grounds for Christians in Singapore but was was closed to further burials in 1865, and eventually converted into a park. The twelve gravestones that now stand in the northeast corner of the old cemetery grounds are not part of the original cemetery. Instead, they were moved from the former Bukit Timah Cemetery, which closed in 1971. (February 2017)
The cemetery at Fort Canning was used until 1865 when it was declared full and closed. By this time, around one third of the burials there were of Chinese Christians. In the 1970s the cemetery was exhumed and many of the surviving tombstones were embedded in the surviving walls.

The National Museum of Singapore is a great place to learn about Singapore's history. It is the oldest museum in Singapore but all the galleries have a unique modern flare, which I loved.

I highly recommend their current exhibition Singapura: 700 Years. It commemorates Singapore's 50 years of independence and is the perfect way to learn how Singapore grew from a small village to the financial capital that it is now.
