LABUAN: Conspicuous at the 19th century British naval cemetery located at a corner of the Botanical garden is a tombstone mounted on a three-layered hexagon-shaped bases’

The striking gravestone though denotes that a person of influence was buried. Sadly, there is not much information on the deceased. 

The fading inscriptions in Chinese characters engraved on the headstone mentioned the name of the buried as Teo How Teck and the monument was erected in his honour by the Labuan Overseas Chinese Association.

There was no mention of his age or date of his burial.
