The Tiong Ghee Temple was built to replace an older temple in the Boh Beh Kang village, which had been demolished in 1968 to make way for the development of the Mei Ling estate.
The older temple, which was initially known as the Ghee Tiong Temple, was built on Hong Yin Hill following the end of World War II and replaced an even older temple in the village that had been converted from a storage hut in the 1930s.
It was officially opened by prominent businessman Chua Poh Tiong in 1973.
[2][3] The temple is dedicated to the deity Guan Gong.
Although there had not been a Taoist medium at the temple for over a decade by 2010, the original medium's chair, spirit whip and sword are still kept at the temple.
