Leng Ern Jee Temple

Leng Ern Jee Temple is a Buddhist temple located along Jalan Rajah in Balestier, Singapore.

History

Originally located along Circular Road, the temple began as a shrine in the upper floor of a shophouse dedicated to Lu Dong Bin and Ji Gong during the Japanese occupation of Singapore.[1] After World War 2, money was raised to move the temple to Jalan Rajah.[1] The main temple hall is devoted to Lu Dong Bin and Ji Gong, the rear hall is used for honouring ancestors, and the second floor is devoted to Guanyin.[1]

The temple is included in the Balestier Heritage Trail by the National Heritage Board.[1]
