On 15th May 2010, we met up at 10 am and made our way to Fort Canning Park. Upon reaching the site, we were greeted by the lone presence of the ‘keramat’ which was surrounded by lushes trees, bushes and pigeons.
While touring the site, we took the chance to capture stills and video recordings of the location.
During that time, we were approached by Mr. Kamal, the caretaker, who was willing to share his knowledge about the burial ground.
Coincidentally, some visitors were seen visiting the 'keramat' for a purpose and we managed to interview them.
We managed to interview another two visitors who were at Fort Canning. They were asked if they knew of the existence of the 'keramat' in the park itself. They were also asked if they knew about Iskandar Shah.
After that, we made our trip to the National Museum of Singapore which was just across the park. We were hoping that we can get some useful information but the trip was not helpful as they had no information about the 'keramat' at all.
Last but not least, we feel that this was definitely a noteworthy experience for us.
