Chu Sheng Temple

About/History of Place

Chu Sheng Temple  (ju sheng miao) was built in 1981 through the collaboration of three temples - Ji Fu Gong, Hua Tang Fu and Long Quan Yan.

Ji Fu Gong was founded in Yio Chu Kang 11th milestone (Ka Tau Au) by the Hokkien and Teochew villagers.

In 1918 an immigrant of the surname Shi brought the statue of Shi Fu Wang Ye from Anxi county of Fujian province to his home at Bukit Ho Swee. In the 1930s the Shi clan built Hua Tang Fu at Yio Chu Kang 11th milestone (Ka Tau Au) for their fellow clansmen and the statue of Shi Fu Wang Ye was invited to the new temple.

In the 1930s an immigrant of the surname Wang brought the statue of Fa Zu Sheng Jun from Nan'an county of Fujian province to his home at Yio Chu Kang's Track 11 (Lao Ba). In the 1940s the Wang clan built Long Quan Yan in the same village for their clansmen, and the statue of Fa Zu Sheng Jun was invited to the new temple.
