The new migrants: here for eternity

They may never have been to New Zealand in their lifetime, but a new wave of "immigrants" could be spending eternity here.

A group of Singapore businessmen was here last month, and appointed an agent to help them look for land in the Hibiscus Coast area to bury dead people from cities such as Singapore and Tokyo, which are running out of cemetery space.

They toured much of the North Island, but decided on the Orewa area after consulting a Taoist priest and a feng shui master.
