Tan Bedah (Bukit Brown)

Located in Block 1 Section C, plot 320, is a simple tomb. If you take a closer look the name of the occupant is Didah or Bidah who departed this life on 2nd September 1926. The burial confirms a record of a female of 85 years of age that was buried in the exact plot on 3rd September 1926, but the name i see is Tan Bedah. Is she a local Malay woman married to a Chinese man with the surname, Tan ? Another interesting point to note is the tomb is all in English. That is my theory for now. Bukit Brown continues to hold many mystery and stories waiting to be uncovered.

In Memory of Didah
