THE HAKKA CEMETERY been well known as nearly 3000 mosaic-clad tombstones stand in 65
uniform rows in the middle of a Housing Board estate, Singapore. The tombstones might have
re-house the graves in pagoda as the huge land will go under gradual development.

Through few years pursuits on photography, CK Kok deeply realize photography is not only about visual striking, digital processing but it is a medium to tell stories. Since young he is concern about environment issues, social issues, global affairs, heritage preservation, people & culture and recently he focus on public health issues since he had skin diseases since 2016.
