The Bukit Kiara Muslim Cemetery is a cemetery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at Damansara near Taman Tun Dr Ismail. It is the burial place of many prominent Malays.
The cemetery was originally planned to be called Pusara Negara (National Cemetery), a special cemetery for people "who have done great service to the country", spanning over 92 hectares and divided into sections for different religions. It was expected to be completed in 1988.[1]
The Bukit Kiara Muslim Cemetery was opened in 1985. There are four phases at this cemetery. Phase 1 was opened in 1985 and Phase 2 opened in 2008. Phase 3 and 4 remained for future uses.
