In Singapore, there are numerous cemeteries that house Muslim graves. Many of them are not in use currently as most of the burials take place at Pusara Aman in Choa Chu Kang. This is a non-exhaustive list of the Muslim cemeteries that have been demolished such as Bidadari Cemetery, as well as cemeteries that have not been in use for years. Included in this list are Keramats (Mausoleums) that are present in Singapore. Cemeteries Bidadari Cemetery History Bidadari Cemetery used to be located in Toa Payoh, and is now a defunct cemetery. The cemetery was not specifically catered for Muslims, as it also housed Christian, Hindu, and Sinhalese graves. Bidadari Cemetery was opened in 1908, and was closed in 1972. After it was closed in 1972, the cemetery became a park for visitors to observe nature. The graves were exhumed from the years 2001 to 2006 to make room for new infrastructure and buildings. Due to religious customs, the remains of the Muslims could not be cremated. Hence, they were relocated to Pusara Abadi in Choa Chu Kang. There was a Bidadari Mosque that was built in the Muslim cemetery that was constructed in 1932 by Syed Abdulrahman Bin Shaikh Alkaff, who was a prominent member of the Alkaff family in Singapore. However, it was demolished in 2007 after the exhumations of the graves ended. The name "Bidadari" comes from the Malay word for "angel". Prior to the cemetery site, there was previously a Bidadari estate where the Istana Bidadari was built. Istana Bidadari was inhabited by Che Puan Besar Zubaidah, who was the second wife of Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor, son of Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim, who is buried at Makam Diraja Johor Telok Blangah. Memorial There are several prominent figures from all races that have been buried there over the years. Significant Muslim figures that have been buried there include Ahmad Bin Ibrahim, who was the Minister of Health of Singapore from 1959 until 1961 and the Minister of Labour until his death in 1962. Singaporeans were concerned that the history of Bidadari Cemetery was being erased and something should be done to commemorate the historical figures who were buried there. As a result, the National Heritage Board decided to relocate the cemetery gates and twenty tombstones of key historical figures, including Ahmad Ibrahim to Bidadari Memorial Garden at Mount Vernon.
