SINGAPORE: For 39 years, Marn Chuan Lee paid respects to his grandmother’s grave at least once every three months; keeping the grave tidy and even installing garden lights by her tombstone.

However, when the grave in Choa Chu Kang Chinese Cemetery was exhumed in August, he knew it did not belong to his grandmother as it contained stuffed toys, colour pencils and a necklace he did not recognise.
