Went to recce BBC for Tan Bin Cheng visit:
Armed with Raymond Goh map: C3 marks the spot!
Had to scout around:
these quad of lined up tombs provide the guide to TBC
By standing at the rightmost
and following their direction (I planted my umbrella two pass away) for 35 paces:
you will come to a big tree: A big tomb of Koh Kong Wee lies in front of the tree: but TBC is after it, in the shade:
The tomb of TBC has been tumbled down by the roots of the tree: Raymond had previously helped of find and identify it:
You can see the two sentinal lions guarding.
The two turbaned and rifled watchmen are still there: One standing erect,
the other still on duty although at an angle
The tombstone had fallen facedown and Raymond had turned it around with help: (the happened on his previous finding trip) today Raymond was not with me :
Bin Ching Tan name can be seen in "squished" chinese calligraphy.
Tan Bin Cheng's Chinese name is Chen Min Zheng 陈敏政(陳敏政).
This piece shows his sons/ grandson's names:
QED
Tan Bin Cheng's tomb is surrounded by dense vegetation.
just been discovered this month. This is Raymond's article :
http://bukitbrown.org/a-unique-lion-and-sikh-guard-the-tomb-of-tan
Will get saw, machete etc to clear some of the vegetation
and see what professional help is needed.
I think this is in direct path of destruction due to the proposed road project!!
