Actually go Melaka can see. They famous funeral palor at Jonkers Walk is open always. I go to Melaka always stop by there to check what kind of bodies they are dressing up.

I guess the survival rate was low then. Morale must be really low to have to be placed in the death house.

[Silver_blade]

Sago Lane must be a wierd place. I still find it hard to image what it would be like to see the barely living ones under the same roof as the dead. It must be a depressing street.

[Silver_blade]

Oh yes...pass by there a few times....but didn't bother to stop to see.

Unidentified Temple along North/New Bridge road, demolished

 

 

Founded in 1885 and situated at Holland Road (Bukit Timah 10km), Yu Shan Teng was a cemetery temple set up by clansmen of three Hakka counties( Foong Shoon, Eng Teng and Dabu). The cemetery was refurbished from 1901 to 1902. It ceased to operate in 1971 after being acquired by the government.

since young there are stories of how those statues of animals and human in HPV can turn alive at nite...these statues are actually "kai guang" blesses by priests/monks.There are also rumours that HPV was built to appease these spirits/entities in Hell..there are also rumours because of fengshui reason..and because of that , the owner of HPV, belonging to Tiger medicated oil decide to build this HPV.

 

I used to work part time crew in HPV during my sec sch days.I was the crew for one of the small mobile station cafe selling chicken rice etc.The spooky place gave me creep and chill down my spine especially whenever I need walk past those scary looking statues.However, I only worked for few weekends and quit so never encountered anything..lucky me.

 

 

the young boy with blue cap

 

(copied from SPI) Interview with old HPV caretaker

 

(He spoke in Mandarin) "Why you young people always want to know things that people don't want to remember?" He said in a half-teasing tone, "You want to find spirits, there are spirits everywhere! Which one you want me to tell you?" He seemed to be not interested in mysteries and paranormal - just a straightforward worker who works for a living.

 

But we showed him our sincerity and persistence. We humbly voiced our questions to him again, insisting to know the truth.

 

Mr Wok calmed down, and replied somewhat solemnly. "Do you know this place that supposed to be glorious now filled with glooms? I mean the whole Tiger Balm Park. The grasses are uncut, the business is making a loss and all our morale is low." He was not telling us any ghost encounter, but we remained patient.

 

Mr Wok followed up. "Everybody is so troubled. Even now the entrance is free, still not many people want to visit the park, and... I am leaving soon. I will retire in the next few months but they probably want me to go sooner."

 

We felt a sudden sadness from his words. "I dreamt about this place every night. In my dream, I was in the story of the tableau of virtues and vices. Ah, there is one I remember very clearly."

 

SPI is paying high attention. Mr Wok said "On one early morning around 6am, I was walking into the washroom for a shower. Out of nowhere a half naked Chinese boy wearing a blue cap was standing there. Under the dim and omni sunrays in dawn, I could barely see that his skin was too pale and cold to be a human. He spoke to me half-crying in a Chinese dialect... 'I am lost, I want to go home. My shoulder is injured and my body dirty. Old uncle can help wash my body clean? Please..' This boy was begging. Honestly I wasn't afraid although I strongly sensed something spooky was going on."

 

"The Strange thing is this: After I briefly wiped clean his body that was cold and dirty I offered him an old blanket to cover his body. He thanked me and then repeatedly said to himself 'where is my home?', 'where is my home?', 'where is my home?' On the next day when I woke up I realized that it was only a dream. I wanted to go take a shower at the end of my night shift but I was too tired; I dropped straight into sleep in my bed instead. But when I walked out to the bush yard I saw..."

 

"Saw what?" SPI asked.

 

Hesitatingly Mr Wok said "... I saw the boy! and my spare blanket was on his shoulder!" He pointed his finger over our shoulders. Turning our heads slowly to the left we over looked to the bush, the boy statue was smiling spookily in the wild grasses. A cold creep followed by Goosebumps spread outrageously over our backs.

 

"Well, many people think this is only a mythical and fictional park. But I can tell you, the concept of this park is simple but yet sophisticated by Mr Aw: everything has a life form, even a stone, a tree, an animal has a spirit. And we must respect one another. You sow good seeds, you will reap good fruits..."

 

broken and abandoned statues

if I'm not wrong this old building used to be office..
