Although they have seen the tombs before, it left no earlier impression on them until a news report about the rickshaw puller who saved Lee Kuan Yew\u2019s life emerged recently. Raymond then remembered, Lee Kuan Yew had mentioned his maternal grandfather Chua Kim Teng and grandmother Leong Ah Soon in his memoirs. Coincidently at the same time, Soh Ah Beng, a tomb keeper had used his mobile phone to take a photo of the tombstone and forwarded it to Raymond who later confirmed that the tombs belong to the ancestors of the Chua family.<\/p>\n<p>Zaobao correspondent, Chia Yen Yen together with Raymond Goh and Walther Lim specially made a trip to the deep forested area of Bukit Brown known as &#8220;Lau San&#8221;, meaning old hill to substantiate the find. They also discovered the tomb of Chua Kim Teng&#8217;s second wife, Seow Geok Luan next to Chua Ying Chiang (Chua KimTeng\u2019s father). However, the tomb of Lee Kuan Yew&#8217;s maternal grandmother, Leong Ah Soon was missing. On conducting further research and the Bukit Brown\u2019s burial register, they finally located the tomb of Leong Ah Soon.<\/p>\n<p>Two descendants of the Chua family, retired accountants, Seet Keong Fatt and Seet Keong Hoe, told Zaobao, that every year during &#8220;Ching Ming&#8221;, they would visit their maternal grandmother, Leong Ah Soon&#8217;s grave to pay their respects. However, they were no longer aware of the whereabouts of their maternal grandfather and great grandfathers\u2019 graves. The mother of the two Seet brothers, \u00a0Chua Swee Neo is the the youngest daughter of Chua Kim Teng and Leong Ah Soon. Chua Swee Neo is also the younger sister of Chua Jim Neo (Lee Kuan Yew&#8217;s mother). She had married Seet Cheng Kang in a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony in 1937 and their wedding was reported in the press.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the &#8220;Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew&#8221;, for a married daughter&#8217;s family to live with the in-laws (as was the case for Lee Chin Koon and Chua Jim Neo living with the Chuas) was not accepted in a traditional Chinese family. But to a Chinese Peranakan family from Malacca it was common.<\/p>\n<p>Although Chua Kim Teng was born in Singapore, his father Chua Ying Chiang came from a typical Peranakan family in Malacca. Chua Ying Chiang&#8217;s tomb at the 127 year old &#8220;Lau San&#8221; of Bukit Brown is very large, estimated to be 40 feet in length and 24 feet in width, reflecting on his illustrious life. However, it is a pity that what information about his life that can be found today is limited.<\/p>\n<p>Chua Kim Teng&#8217;s second wife, Seow Geok Luan&#8217;s tomb is next to Chua Ying Chiang, and much smaller.<\/p>\n<p>According to the old map, the 3 tombs are at the &#8220;Lau San&#8221; of Bukit Brown.<\/p>\n<p>The inscription on Chua Ying Chiang&#8217;s tombstone recorded his death date as April 1887. On the tombstone are carvings of dragons, unicorns, cranes and deer. This reveals the beliefs and importance placed on the &#8220;dragons&#8217; veins&#8221; and &#8220;fengshui&#8221; meaning posterity and prosperity.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><span style=\"color: #999999;\">The other couplets are \u201c\u9f99\u633a\u65d7\u9f13\u5929\u95e8\u5f00\u3001\u864e\u62d2\u826e\u5bab\u5730\u6237\u95edand \u201c\u6392\u8859\u4e4b\u7802\u771f\u6709\u60c5\u3001\u7678\u5411\u826e\u6d41\u5bcc\u8d35\u9f99\u201d which translates to : \u201cAs the dragon dance, and the flags beat, the gates of heaven are open.

However, based on family tree records, the names of the other two sons, Kim Tiong and Kim Tye are missing from the tombstone.<\/p>\n<p>Chua Kim Teng (1865-1944) outlived his 3 wives. On his tombstone are names of 6 sons and 8 daughters. However, the name of his adopted son, Keng Seng (adopted by wife Leong Ah Soon) was omitted. His other 2 daughters, namely Sim Neo and Siew Neo were also omitted. There is a possibility that that the names of his descendants were copied from the tombstone of his second wife, Seow Geok Luan which explains why the 2 youngest daughters&#8217; names were omitted.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Lee Suan Yew, both his paternal grandfather, Lee Yun Long and his maternal grandfather, Chua Kim Teng died during the Japanese Occupation. He was 11 years old when his maternal grandfather passed away and he still remembers his mother Chua Jim Neo making arrangements for his grandfather&#8217;s funeral and burial.<\/p>\n<p>Chua Kim Teng was born in 1865 and died in 1944 . As recorded on his tombstone, his ancestors are from Fujian, Zhangzhou, Haicheng, Zhen village (\u798f\u5efa\u6f33\u5dde\u6d77\u6f84\u9648\u838a).<\/p>\n<p>Dr Lee Suan Yew has the impression that his maternal grandfather was wealthy, lived in a big house, was generous and often gave his grandchildren money to buy preserved olives, sour plums and other snacks. He said that his brother Lee Kuan Yew was born in his maternal grandfather&#8217;s 2-storey bungalow at No. 92 Kampong Java. He has an old photo of the family, including his mother, maternal grandfather and grandmother, aunties and uncles, taken in front of the big bungalow.<\/p>\n<p>The Chua family later moved to another big house at Lorong L, Telok Kurau. Based on a &#8220;For Rent&#8221; advertisement in the Straits Times dated 28 July 1928, the bungalow at Kampong Java had water and gas supply, telephones lines, a garage and a tennis court. It was a magnificent bungalow.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Lee said that his maternal grandfather had three wives. First wife, Seow Chue Luan and second wife, Seow Geok Luan are sisters. His maternal grandfather had one son and 3 daughters with his first wife and 2 sons and 3 daughters with his second wife. He had 3 sons and 4 daughters with his third wife.<\/p>\n<p>Based on records in the &#8220;Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew&#8221;, Leong Ah Soon was a Hakka woman from Indonesia. She was a young widow with 2 young children. Lee Kuan Yew&#8217;s mother, Chua Jim Neo is the eldest daughter of Chua Kim Teng and Leong Ah Soon.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Lee, besides the Kampong Java and Telok Kurau bungalows, his maternal grandfather owns several properties at Claymore Road. The properties were subsequently sold due to the Great Depression.<\/p>\n<p>Based on old newspaper records, Chua KimTeng was the owner of a market at East Coast. Lee Kuan Yew in his memoirs mentioned that his maternal grandfather owned a large rubber plantation and the family sometimes took the bullock cart to the plantation for vacations.<\/p>\n<p>Although Chua Kim Teng was a successful businessman, he was only actively involved in the mutual aid organisation Cheng Kee Hean Association which was founded in 1893. In November 1921, on the 25th anniversary of the association, a celebration dinner was held at the Kampong Java bungalow. Chua was then the Vice President of the association.<\/p>\n<p>The tombstone of Lee Kuan Yew&#8217;s maternal grandmother, Leong Ah Soon is on a hillside of the Bukit Brown cemetery. Although the tombstone is not considered big, neither can it be considered small and is well kept. According to records in &#8220;Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew&#8221;, Leong Ah Soon had 9 children. However, on her tombstone inscribed were the names of 7 sons and 10 daughters, a total of 17 children. There were also names of 7 grandsons and 6 granddaughters.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Lee Suan Yew, the name of Leong Ah Soon&#8217;s adopted son, Chua Keng Seng (formerly Tan Keng Seng &#8211; son of sworn sister) was also inscribed on the tombstone. Leong Ah Soon&#8217;s daughter, Watt Neo is from her previous marriage. The names of Leong Ah Soon&#8217;s sons and daughters which were inscribed on her tombstone include the children of Chua Kim Teng&#8217;s first and second wives.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><span style=\"color: #999999;\">It is interesting to note that the couplet \u201c\u6e90\u524d\u7686\u8d64\u5b50\uff0c\u76ca\u4e0a\u662f\u9752\u5929&#8221; on the tombstone has been amended and it differs from the original couplet \u201c\u773c\u524d\u7686\u8d64\u5b50\u3001\u5934\u4e0a\u662f\u9752\u5929\u201d which refers to court officials who are impartial.

It literally translates to &#8220;when you know the pleasures of the hills , who cares about fame in one&#8217;s lifetime&#8221;.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not only did Leong Ah Soon marry her daughter, Chua Jim Neo to Lee Kuan Yew&#8217;s father, Lee Chin Koon, she also took Lee Chin Koon&#8217;s sister, Lee Kim Neo as the bride for her eldest son Chua Keng Hoe.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Kuan Yew, in his memoirs, said that his maternal grandmother had a different view on his education. His maternal grandmother had insisted on sending the young Lee Kuan Yew who was barely 6 years old to a private class in an attap house to learn and recite the Chinese Classics. When he complained to his mother about the difficulties he had learning Chinese, his mother pleaded with his maternal grandmother on his behalf to let him discontinue Chinese lessons. However, his maternal grandmother insisted that he learned some Chinese and transferred him to a private school in Joo Chiat. The school was impressive with 10 classrooms and had between 35 to 40 students per class. The young Lee Kuan Yew still had difficulties learning Chinese. Three months later, Lee Kuan Yew&#8217;s mother again pleaded with his maternal grandmother who finally agreed to let him transfer to an English school.<\/p>\n<p>Based on records on Leong Ah Soon&#8217;s tombstone, she died on October 9, 1934. She was born in 1881 and was 16 years younger than her husband, Chua Kim Teng.<\/p>\n<p>Based on archival records, Leong Ah Soon had on the eve of World War I, in 1916, with the joint effort of women in Malaya purchased fighter jets as gifts for the British government. She had donated ten dollars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>(Thanks to\u00a0 Elaine Tan for the translation\u00a0 with inputs from Raymond
