Message from Nicole Carter

The Tiong Bahru Monkey God Temple, also known as the Tiong Bahru Qi Tian Gong, was founded in 1920 and moved to its current location in 1938. Dedicated to Sun Wu Kong, the Monkey King from Journey to the West, this temple houses over ten statues of the Monkey God, with the oldest almost a century old. Believers flock to the temple on the Monkey God's birthday for blessings and rituals performed by mediums in trance. The Monkey God is revered for his resourcefulness, bravery, and ability to discern truth from falsehood.
