Kheam Hock Road Tomb Masons, Contractors and Building Contractors

The buildings along Kheam Hock Road have been something of curiosity for me for many years. I have heard about the Ong Clan Temple, a coffee shop, a wayang stage and tomb masons that were in the area, but this was either through photos from sources from National Archives, PictureSG and finally oral accounts from former residents.  I thought it will be good to at least attempt to document as much as possible the buildings and structures that used to be on Kheam Hock Road or its side roads, Lorong Halwa and Jalan Berahi.
