From the Malaya Tribune newspaper article 28 November 1946, the Singapore Municipality announced that the Chinese Cemeteries at Bukit Brown and Coronation Road will be closed for burials, except for burials in reserved plots at Bukit Brown at the end of January 1947, approximately. Thereafter burials will be made at the new Chinese Cemetery at the 15th milestone, Choa Chu Kang.
In short, one could not officially purchase a plot unless it was already reserved for the family.
