THE TOUR / Religious Beliefs
|
The Cheng Soon Keong temple in Sin Kang has enshrined Ong Soon Yah and Tua Sai Yah since the late Ming Dynasty. The Khoos who remained in the village as well as those who went overseas were always blessed and protected by these two patron saints. Therefore, the Cheng Soon Keong was set up by Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi to worship Ong Soon Yah and Tua Sai Yah as practised in China including other deities such as Kuan Im (Goddess of Mercy), Poh Seh Tai Tay (God of Medicine) and Mah Chor Poh (Goddess of the Sea).
In the annexe to the left of the central hall is the Hock Teik Soo, which enshrines Tua Pek Kong (the God of Prosperity) who protects local households worship amongst the Chinese. | |
