The marble tomb with decorative tiles reads,
No. 232. F
In loving memory of
Chua Guan Eng
Died 24-4-40
Age 40
This is etched on both the tomb shoulders. In short, Chua Guan Eng passed away at the age of 40 on 24 April 1940. His tomb was located at Block 1 F, No. 232. Affected by the highway, it no longer exist.
What is also interesting is the epitaph below the altar. It reads;
Here lies Chua Guan Eng
In life simple and plain
Humane in heart and deeds
May he Rest In Peace
