Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery which contains a total number of 3,900 burials. The cemetery lies on the Jalan Tanjong Batu road which leads from the airport to the town. It is less than a kilometre from the airport and about 3 kilometres from the Island's town; Victoria. Within the Cemetery will be found the Labuan Memorial and the Labuan Cremation Memorial.
This memorial to those who died in WW2 is very well maintained and the cemetery is quiet and peaceful. The Remembrance Day ceremonies are held here every year. The staff who maintain the memorial park are to be commended. Also thanks to the Malaysian government and the Malaysian Armed services for their help. A special thanks to the U.K. war graves commission for their support.

This fascinating hillside burial ground has a storied past; it should, as it dates back to the Ming dynasty.
A hidden gem in Malacca, this ancient Chinese cemetery occupies a gentle hill downtown Malacca. The walk to the hilltop is even more impressive during March and April when the red flame of the forest and the frangipani trees cover the slopes with their spectacular red and rose flowers. A good starting point is St Peter's Church next to the river (you can even start downstream from Chinatown and enjoy the walk along the river). Take the lane along the fence of St Peter's Church (Lorong Haji Bachee) and you will bump on the cemetery hill. Continue straight on the little path going up the hill among the trees and old graves. You can go down on your right by the staircase with red handrail or continue the walk until the beautiful viewpoint. After the hilltop, the path snakes Southwards among the nice flowering trees above mentioned. You can exit at the hill foot or circle around the mount by keeping to your left on the track.
