The wartime tomb of Mr. Ong Cheng Eng is a simple one but yet rich in history. Written all in English, the calendar listed also is unique for its time period as it follows the Japanese Koki Calendar. Mr. Oh Cheng Eng passed away at the age of 43 on 6 September 2602 (1942). There is one son listed on the tomb, Oh Chwee Hock.
During the same time period (post-1945), there is a famous waterpolo player by the name of Oh Chwee Hock, but i don't have enough information to confirmed whether he is indeed the son of Mr. Oh Cheng Eng.
Location of tomb
Mr. Oh Cheng Eng is buried in Block I Section C, plot P43.
