Hill 4 (photo Catherine Lim)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

This Sunday, we conquer Hill 4, not quite as indomitable as you think.\u00a0 A leisurely stroll of between 15-20 minutes from the Cemetery gates will take you to\u00a0 Hill 4 . Chat with\u00a0 with volunteer guides: Peter and Catherine, as they take you there, to open minds and hearts. Hill 4 is not on the usual tour but it offers the life and times of the poet and revolutionary who coined an early name of Singapore, “Sin Chew”, features a circus family, a family of 5 cats, a small brigade of sikh guards life- sized and hobbit sized, and the illustrious of\u00a0 Chong Pang, Nee Soon, Tan Tock Seng to name but a few.\u00a0 There are graves here which are also staked and slated to make way for the 8 lane highway which will slice Bukit Brown into half.

Meeting Place: Under the large and beautiful, and possibly endangered, rain tree, at the Roundabout. After the main gate, go forward another twenty metres, to the right of the SLA office<\/p>\n
