Last year, I featured a market temple housed inside Tanjong Pagar Plaza.
Here’s a similar place of worship inside Haig Road Market & Food Centre - the Haig Road Tua Pek Kong Temple.
The Chinese characters over the altar read: “Haig Road Tua Pek Kong”.
Spotted under some trees alongside a Caltex petrol station, next to the Mount Pleasant Flyover of the Pan-Island Expressway, near where Mount Pleasant Road joins Whitley Road:
I see a couple of Laughing Buddhas (actually a depiction of Maitreya, the “Future Buddha”), Guan Yin, Datuk Gong, and Fu Lu Shou - popular Taoist and Buddhist deities seated side by side. The best of Chinese lay religion on display by the roadside.
This morning, we paid respects to my paternal grandfather, as part of the annual Qing Ming (Tomb Sweeping Day) tradition.
