Ng Whoey and Ng Kah Ghee

It was 11 Aug 2017, whereby a post card posted on ebay was uploaded into the Heritage Singapore Bukit Brown Facebook.




The postcard was titled  China Chinese Cemetery Singapore unused RP old pc ID No 122617667468

We can see the inscriptions : Ng Whoey - The Beloved Father of Ng Kah Ghee and Ng Swee Chee clearly.

I know Ng Kah Ghee't tomb was exhumed already from Bukit Brown.  Somehow the post card tomb looks familar,  I think I have encountered it before in Lao Sua because of the ancestry place 崙山.  There are a few such tombs in Lao Sua

And so two days later (a Sunday) we went to Lao Sua to relook at the tombs with the ancestr place and sure enough, we match the tomb to the post card !
