Get your torchlights out and keep your eyes peeled for the many ‘activities’ occurring at night in the Bukit Brown Cemetery! Join long-time Brownie Andrew Lin who will be bringing you to ‘meet’ the many pioneer Singaporeans buried here and introduce you to the myriad forms of graves found in this cemetery. Watch this resting place for the dead spring back to life with Andrew’s animated narration!
Andrew Lin is a familiar face at My Community Festival, a dedicated volunteer guide who has contributed to a variety of tours, from Bukit Brown Cemetery walks as part of the “Brownies” to heritage trails around Tanglin Halt. Andrew spent his childhood and teenage years in Tanglin Halt, giving him a personal connection to the stories he shares with participants.
As the volunteer guide for the SG55 Tanglin Halt tours, Andrew brought both personal anecdotes and historical insight to life, helping visitors understand how this neighbourhood evolved over the decades. His passion for heritage goes beyond built spaces—Andrew is also a member of the Nature Society (Singapore), reflecting his commitment to preserving Singapore’s natural history and biodiversity alongside its urban heritage.
Andrew is known for his warm, accessible style, blending historical knowledge with personal memories to foster a deeper appreciation for Singapore’s past. Whether guiding visitors through Bukit Brown’s storied gravestones or showing them the vanishing heartland landscape of Tanglin Halt, Andrew makes history come alive.
His dedication to both community and environment perfectly reflects the spirit of My Community Festival: celebrating the everyday stories and places that shape Singapore’s identity.
