The Jalan Kubor Cemetery (Jawi: مقبرة شارع القبر) is located across Victoria Street within the Rochor neighbourhood of the Central Region, Singapore.
[1][2] The land where the cemetery now stands was first recorded as the Tombs of the Malayan Princes by John Turnbull Thomson during his service as colonial prospector in Singapore, which was later noted and marked on an 1829 map by George Drumgoole Coleman, a civil architect under Raffles.
The Masjid Malabar was built in that land and first officially opened in 1963, a reconstruction of a previous 1929 structure that fell into disrepair.
[1][2] However, the Malay portion of the cemetery was still in use by the Muslim locals including descendants of Syed Omar Aljunied around 1920.
In 2018, a restoration plan for the Masjid Malabar building which included an expansion to the facility threatened the safety of several unidentified graves within Jalan Kubor Cemetery.
