Pusara Aman Muslim Cemetery
By Seeker
The Pusara Aman Muslim Cemetery, located along Jalan Bahar road in Lim Chu Kang, Singapore, is the only active Muslim cemetery in the country. Opened in 1974 to replace the Bidadari Cemetery, it features the Masjid Pusara Aman, a mosque that provides essential funerary services. The cemetery is known for its tranquil atmosphere, as suggested by its name, which translates to 'Peaceful Cemetery' in Malay. It has a rich history, including the relocation of graves for urban development and adaptations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notable figures interred here include Zubir Said, the composer of Singapore's national anthem, and Othman Wok, a former Minister. The cemetery is accessible via public bus services, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in Singapore's cultural heritage.
