The Keramat Bukit Kasita, also known as Tanah Kubor Diraja (Jawi: مقبرة الملك; literally Royal Burial Ground) is a closed cemetery located within the grounds of the Bukit Purmei housing estate in Bukit Merah, Singapore. Comprising burials of Malay royalties and enshrined graves, known as keramat, the site is listed as a reserve site, with no current plans to clear it for redevelopments in the area. The cemetery is generally believed to be the resting place of Sang Nila Utama's descendants. It is also the resting place of Abdul Rahman II, the last sultan of the Riau-Lingga Sultanate who was in exile. There is dispute to the origins of the cemetery as to whether it was established in the 16th or 19th centuries.
