Belated condolences and best wishes to you and your family.
There is a memorial called the Tanjung Kupang Memorial located at Jalan Kebun Teh in Johor Baru city in the state of Johor on the southern edge of Peninsula Malaysia.
You can travel to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, then take a domestic flight to Johor Baru. Taxis are easily available from Sultan Ismail airport in Senai ( where Johor Baru airport is ) to the memorial. Altenatively, you can come via Singapore using bus services from Changi airport to Johor Baru city, then via taxi to the memorial.
For more info, you can google " Tanjung Kupang Memorial ". However the stories weaved in the wikipaedia entries should be taken with a big spoonful of salt.
Good luck and best wishes again.

Tanjung Kupang Memorial
The monument stands within a quiet alcove on a grassy knoll located between an established school, SJKC Foon Yew ( Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina Foon Yew - ie Foon Yew National Type Chinese School ) and a housing estate known as Taman Majidee. There are many tall pine trees at this location. The road, Jalan Kebun Teh is a busy road due to the location of the popular school.
Hope this info helps. Best wishes and Godspeed on your quest to honour your gramps.
