| Along Pahang Street and Bagdad Street, one can still find this trade. Probably because in the early days, amongst the goods off-loaded at Kampong Glam by ships from the Archipelago, would include granite blocks. As a growing community then, granite was much needed as one of the materials used in the pre-war houses. With the existence of a nearby cemetery at Jalan Kubur and Victoria Street, regular demand for tombstones was assured. This trade somehow became a trademark of this place. |
