Many years ago before the Gov't changed the road name Lornie Road the expressway was then known as Korphee Hill (pronounced as Coffee Hill).

Legends has it that Korphee Hill used to be a coffee plantation with a village nearby.  There was once a young little girl born to a woman who died during childbirth, to which less than a month later the baby girl's grandfather passed away too. Everyone in the village regarded the baby girl as a taboo and a curse to the village.  Everyone shunned her, including her close ones who treated her no better than a servant. The young girl led a very hard yet simple life, toiling most of her life working in the coffee plantation.

Many years passed and the young girl grew into her teens.  One late evening as the girl was walking through the plantation after a hard day's work, she was brutally attacked and sexually assaulted by a group of male villagers.  They abhorred her since the very day she was born. The deep grudge for her as a curse to the village overpowered them and they decided to kill her in a means to silence their victim.  The girl put up a hard struggle but to no avail. Beaten and insulted, the girl swore and cursed the entire village and plantation with her last breath that no coffee was to be ever planted on the land she grew on, nor any references or jokes made about coffee is to be mentioned on Korphee Hill.

True enough, not long after the girl's demise, the plantation begin to falter and all growing coffee trees and weeds died.  The whole land became almost barren.  Children and adults alike who spoke of coffee died horrible deaths within 3 days of the word Coffee mentioned.  Soon, words of the girl's curse spread through the village like fire and everyone evacuated the village as not only are their lives in danger of the dead girl's wrath, their livelihood of producing the country's trade, coffee had ceased.

I'm not too sure when the Gov't decided to use that plot of land for cemeterial purposes but the whole entire land (not split into two due to the making of the expressway) is now nothing but entirely full of wild trees, bushes, weeds and not to mention, tombstones. Korphee Hill has since been separated into 2 hills, one known as Lornie, the other known as Mount Pleasant, to give way to the PIE expressway.
 

Has anybody seen a coffee tree before?
Guess you are very familiar with StarBucks.  But not everyone is able to recognize a coffee tree.

   
Can you find a coffee tree in Bukit Brown Cemetery nowadays?
