Makam Diraja Johor Telok Blangah (Jawi: Malay: مقام دراج خوهر تاوق بلاڠه) is a Johor royal mausoleum co-located next to the grounds of Masjid Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim in Telok Blangah, Singapore. The royal cemetery is the final resting place of the descendants of the House of Temenggong from 1825 to 1900.[1]
The burial ground was informally established with Temenggong Abdul Rahman being buried there in late December 1825,[2] the burial ground had since become a resting place for later members of the House of Temenggong from then on.
The last to be buried was Ungku Mohd Khalid, the younger brother of Sultan Abu Bakar in 1900.
There are 32 graves in the cemetery, including the grave of Temenggong Abdul Rahman (Also known as Engku Abdul Rahman), Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim, and their family members.[3] However, the tombs of the Temenggongs are placed inside the mosque, as a mausoleum (Keramat). The land that the mosque and cemetery lie on belongs to the Johor Sultanate, to this day.[4]
