Since the 1930s, Mr Weng Ya Zhang, the cemetery’s Chinese

Since the 1930s, Mr Weng Ya Zhang, the cemetery’s Chinese caretaker, continued to tend to the cemetery. As an expression of gratitude, the Japanese Association allowed Weng to be buried in the Japanese Cemetery when he died in 1960.
After his death, Weng's adopted son Lim Keok Kee took over as caretaker. This is Mr Lim looking out when he closed the doors of the prayer hall.
