is freehold until not freehold loh~

The dead people probably thought these are their permanent homes, i.e. free hold lands, so they would be very annoyed if they have to be dugged out , be cremated and put into erns. Bad karma will be foe those who are responsible for disturbance of the dead ones...

This part of Singapore is rich people's area since colonial days; there were gambier and pepper plantations and the landlords (mainly British and Chinese businessmen) had big houses near their plantations.

I read the notice from LTA, I get the feeling like they are just asking for the sake of going through the motions so that they can chop chop clear and continue the work
Don't even have any other info like type of coffins, estimated age, pictures and exact location to help people connect the dots

KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital – Singapore’s largest maternity hospital. The hospital’s grounds since its move in 1997 from across Kampong Java Road, it was part of a larger site that was occupied by Bukit Timah Cemetery. Singapore’s third Christian cemetery, it was also referred to as “New Cemetery” when it opened in 1865

The cemetery closed to new burials from 1 January 1910

Meaning?
The folks deliberately buried there without government approval or government paperwork lost?

No tombstone?
