General Introduction to the Chai Chee United Temple

The United Temples were formed as a result of the Government’s land acquisition and have since moved to the present premises.
Upon the instructions of the authorities that certain temples should join together and register as a legal entity before they could be awarded land for temple construction, after many discussions the representatives of the three relevant temples accepted allocation of a piece of land for temple construction. The agreement was signed by representatives of the three partner temples as follows:

The late Mr. Wang RongTong, BBM(L) (of Hock San Teng Temple)
Mr. Zhang Wenyuan (of Zhu Yun Gong Temple)
Mr. Zheng Laifa (of Hock Leng Keng Temple)

The building agreement was jointly signed by Mr. Wang Rongtong (of Hock San Teng Temple), Mr. Zhang Wenyuan (of Zhu Yun Gong Temple), and Mr. Zheng Laifa (of Hock Leng Keng Temple).
After obtaining the government’s land allocation, representatives of Hock San Teng Temple, Zhu Yun Gong Temple and Hock Leng Keng Temple made a suggestion to form an Ad Hoc Committee so as to proceed with fund raising and drafting a building plan. The first meeting was held on 27th June 1990 at Sheng Business Enterprise, No. 75A, Geylang Road. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Xu Mei’an and minuted by Mr. Fang Rukui,

Executive Secretary. Thirteen representatives from the three partner temples were present:
A) Xue Mei’an and Wang Rongtong of Hock San Teng Temple.
B) Zhang Wenyuan, Zhou Shengfa, Hong Liang, Ye Chunjiu, and Fang Ronggui of Zhu Yun Gong Temple.
C) Zheng Laifa, Su Xingcai, Lan Zhenghua, Wang Guoyu, Sun Yuanqing, and Zhang Wenfang, of Hock Leng Keng Temple .
These representatives also helped to draft a Memorandum, and made a decision to name the new temple “Chai Chee United Temple”
After the inception of the Chai Chee United Temple Ad Hoc Committee, representatives of each temple lost no time in raising funds and the fund raising efforts were warmly responded to by people of all walks of life as well as by devotees. The construction was started on 19th
February 1990 and completed on 28th February 1995.
Chai Chee United Temples, situated at No. 6, Chai Chee Lane, postal code 469020, was originally formed from three older temples as mentioned earlier. The major gods worshipped for each temple are as follows:
1. Hock San Teng Temple: Fortuitous and Virtuous God—Dabogong ( Great Grand Uncle God)
2. Zhu Yun Gong Temple: The God Equal to Heaven (Monkey God)
3. Hock Leng Keng Temple: North Pole Heavenly Emperor
The architectural style and features are in accordance with those of a Chinese temple – a typical Chinese traditional structure with focus on the aesthetics of outward appearance. The structure’s most characteristic features are two lively auspicious dragons hovering on the roof top, blowing pearls together. The dragon symbolizes goodness and fire prevention. The imagery is bright and colorful and the result is a wonderful spectacle. The refined and artistic carvings of the eaves add to the beauty of the building.
Thanks to the centrality of the temple ‘s location and its convenience for transport , in addition to its long and flourishing history, the United Temples attract residents from nearby and devotees from afar. They come to pray for their individual safety and prosperity for their businesses as well as peace and harmony and favorable wind and rainfall for the nation.
On 2nd March 1995 (on the 2nd Day of the 2nd Month of the Year Yihai) Hock San Teng Temple ushered Dabogong God into the temple to ascend to His throne.
On 5th May 1995 (6th day of the 4th month) Zhu Yun Gong Temple had the Monkey God ushered into the temple to ascend to His throne .
On 18 June 1995 (21st day of the 5th month of the Year of Yihai) Hock Leng Keng Temple had The Heavenly Emperor ushered in to ascend to His throne.

Brief introduction of each partner temple
A) Hock San Teng Temple was constructed quite a long time ago. The temple worships Fortuitous and Virtuous God—commonly known as Dabogong. It has a history of over 100 years.
The temple site was originally private property, a Chinese graveyard situated at 8th Mile Stone , Changi Road. Due to the efficacy of the God who attracts many followers, a formal temple committee was thus formed. The temple’s renown, under the enthusiastic support of devotees, has spread far and wide.
After WWII, the key members of the Committee were Chen Weiming (Chairman), Xu Anmei, Zhang Ganlu and Lin Yong. At that time the temple had an area of 8 acres. A few years later, the temple acquired 10 acres of land at Changi 300 acres, was well managed and continued to flourish.
At the end of the 1980s, due to the acquisition of land by the Housing Board, the site at Changi Road 8th Mile Stone was affected. Upon many requests and appeals made to the government, the temple eventually obtained an allocation of a piece of land of 2000sq meters at No. 6, Chai Chee Lane, and with Zhu Yun Gong Temple and Hock Leg Keng Temple pre-arranged by the Housing Board registered jointly under the Society Act as an entity, and on the auspicious date 2nd March 1995, the God ascended His Throne in the new united temples.
Today we feel honored to be able to witness the grandeur of our Temple standing firmly in Chai Chee Lane. The Temple symbolizes the continuity of the holiness of the Gods, the flourishing of devotion among followers, and the materialization of our aspirations and wishes.
We hope this Temple is not only a worshipping place for devotees, but also a gathering place for the public, a place for developing the traditional culture and an attraction for tourists.

B). Zhu Yun Gong Temple
Zhu Yun Gong Temple was established in the 1960s and has a history of more than 30 years. Its original site was in Geylang’s 33rd Lane. The major gods of the temple are Monkey God (God Equal to Heaven), North Pole Heavenly Empress, Sacred Lord Zhang, Great Emperor for Heavenly Assistance (Guan Gong), and Neza, The Third Prince among others. For decades the temple has provided services to people of all walks of life, is highly regarded among followers and has continued to flourish.
Due to the limited space and its incapability to accommodate the growing number of devotees , the temple moved to No.1T, Siglap Road. When the temple needed repairs due to its shabby state and water leakage, the temple keeper, Mr. Ye Chunjiu, proposed to have it demolished and rebuilt so as to adapt to time. In the same year, an Ad Hoc Committee for the Construction of Zhu Yun Gong Temple was formed by enthusiasts. With their efforts, and with good response from devotees, a new Zhu Yun Gong Temple was completed in January 1970. A fresh facade for Zhu Yun Gong Temple emerged to serve its followers and the community at large.
In 1988, as the temple’s land owner had an intention to develop the land, the temple’s management, after obtaining compensation, moved it to No.11, Napai Road. But the government did not approve for the land to be used for religious purposes, therefore in 1990 a Committee for Building Zhu Yun Gong Temple was formed to take charge of rebuilding matters. At that time the temple had a fund of only 330,000 SGD. The temple was registered in 1992 and the office bearers are as follows :

Chairman : Fang Ronggui
First Vice Chairman :Zhou Shengfa
Second Deputy Chairman: Feng Rongfeng

The temple’s construction committee committed itself to construction fees of 1130,914 SGD while the remaining 830,914.79SGD was donated by enthusiastic supporters. In 1992 Hock San Teng Temple provided leadership to form a united temple; in the same year, the Chai Chee United Temple was inaugurated, with Hock Leng Keng Temple as a third partner. The Chai Chee United Temple started its rebuilding on 19th February 1994 and was completed on 5th May 1995.
The Gods of Zhu Yun Gong Temple were ushered into the temple and ascended to their thrones on 5th May 1995.
The present achievements of the Zhu Yun Gong Temple are due to the temple’s Emeritus Chairmen, Hon Chairmen, honorable community members, the Mid Year Festival clubs of various divisions in the country and devotees with their generosity and selfless efforts. The Temple management hereby expresses its sincere gratitude to the above mentioned people and organizations.

C) Hock Leng Keng Temple
The Hock Leng Keng Heavenly Emperor’s Temple has a long history in this country, and has provided a place of worship for over 100 years. During these years the deities have been warmly worshipped and have been honored far and wide.
According to the records of a plaque in the temple, the temple was first initiated by 5 venerable citizens: Zhou Biguan, Cai Baohe, Chen Xiaosong, Lin Wumao and Huang Ziying. It was a simple attap-palm house where at first the Heavenly Emperor worshipped. All along, the temple has provided services to people from all walks of life. We, upon seeing that the temple has a long history and strong support from its devotees, formed a committee to manage it. It has been 25 years since that day.
A Management Committee was set up to maintain the Temple for its faith and beliefs, and its worshipping of the Heavenly Emperor to promote Daoism and disseminate justice. Therefore regardless of race and religion, we organized the residents for the purposes of liaising and good will. The Temple’s other aim is charity, to provide care to the poverty stricken and the lonely aged within the availability of the Temple’s funds.
In 1985, being affected by the authorities’ decision to construct an MRT, the council started raising funds for rebuilding and we have since obtained the support from people of all walks of life with donations pouring in. In 1995, when the construction was completed, the gods of the Fuling Temple were moved to Caishi United Temple .
The achievements of the Temple are due to the support and donations from its many devotees, and we hope that these devotees will continue to stand with us and guide us to move forward.
We thank you wholeheartedly.
