The first burial at Bidadari Cemetery happened on 15 December 1907. By
the time the last burial was carried out in 1972, the cemetery was
filled to capacity with approximately 147,000 graves.
Before it was Bidadari Cemetery, the site belonged to one of the wives
of Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor. Her palace, Istana Bidadari, sat on the
land before the Municipal Government acquired it in 1904 to turn the
site into a municipal cemetery. In 1905, the government acquired an
additional 35 acres for a proposed Muslim burial ground in Bidadari. The
compound was categorised into sections for Christians, Muslims, Hindus
and the Singhalese.

Bidadari Mosque before it is being demolished. Picture taken on 28 May 2002. Bidadari Mosque probably built in 1910 and torn down in 2008 to
make way for development of a road
interchange at the junction of Bartley Road and Braddell Road, and for
the construction of the Woodleigh MRT Station situated along the
North-East MRT Line. If I remember correctly, the Bidadari Mosque was situated near to current Woodleigh MRT Station.
