About
What does Kampong Tengah Thian Hou Keng do?
Kampong Tengah Thian Hou Keng is a charity organization dedicated to providing a place of worship and community gathering spot in Singapore, with a focus on promoting peace, prosperity, and philanthropy among its members. The temple was initially built as a simple wooden structure made of attap for the worship of MAH CHO, the goddess of the sea, who is believed to protect fishermen and bring abundance to their catches. Due to re-settlement requirements by the government in the 80s, the temple had to move to Pulau Ubin temporarily before finding a permanent location where it currently stands today. The construction was made possible through generous contributions from the public, worshippers, and sponsors

People
People at Kampong Tengah Thian Hou Keng work together to provide a place of worship and community gathering spot in Singapore, with an emphasis on promoting peace, prosperity, and philanthropy among its members. They strive to maintain the temple built initially as a simple wooden structure dedicated to MAH CHO, the goddess of the sea, who is believed to protect fishermen and bring abundance to their catches. The charity organization has undergone changes due to re-settlement requirements by the government in the 80s, leading them to temporarily move to Pulau Ubin before finding a permanent location where it currently stands today. They achieve these goals through generous contributions from the public, worshippers, and sponsors.
