In 1909, the site, an area of 8,255 square feet (766.9 m2), was granted on government lease for 99 years made in favour of four persons; Soona Veloo Vendir, Nagalingam Kathiraysonm, Annamalai Mecppa Komarasamy and Veerapatra Mudaliar.

Although the lease was renewed in 1909, the plan to build a concrete mandapam (main hall) ran into financial difficulties.

In March 1937, three trustees were appointed by the Chief Justice of Singapore; they were V. Pakrisamy, V. Narayanasamy and Balakrishna Murugase Thirunalam.

[2] Further renovations were carried out in 1974 and the sons of V. Parkirisamy and grandsons of V. Narayanasamy are now managing the Temple.

Lord Siva has five jobs creator, preserver, destroyer, hiding the sins and blessing.
