Beside that,i also find ohter information and history to know more about Jewish Cemetery from internet:
"Jahudi Road (or Jew Road) in Penang where the majority of the Jewish population stayed has since been renamed Jalan Zainal Abidin, erasing another legacy of the Jewish presence in Malaysia. The only significant presence remaining is the Jewish Cemetery and the old disused synagogue."
"The oldest Jewish tombstone is dated July 9, 1835 dedicated to a Mrs. Shoshan Levi and is believed to mark the grave of the English Jew that was the benefactor who donated the land where the current cemetery stands. Most of the graves take the form of a triangular vaulted-lid casket, resembling ossuaries commonly found in Israel. There are approximately 106 graves located in the cemetery with the most recent tombstone dated 1978. It is the only cemetery established solely for the once small and thriving Jewish community in Peninsular Malaysia, although there may be a few Jewish graves in other non-Jewish cemeteries."
