Can you imagine three temples merging into one? That’s the story of Liuxun Sanhemiao Temple in Ang Mo Kio. Liuxun Sanhemiao isn’t just one temple. It’s a fusion of three distinct temples, each with its own rich history. These temples, Sam Ann Fu, Longxuyan Jinshuiguan, and Hong San Chin Huat Temple Association, once resided in Lak Xun Village in Yio Chu Kang. In the 1980s, faced with resettlement, these three communities united. They decided to lease the current site in 1988, completing the new joint temple in 1989. Sam Ann Fu, founded in the early 1900s, honors the Three Chen Brothers. This temple has a strong connection with Leng San Giam, another temple now located in Ang Mo Kio Joint Temple. They even share deities during festivals, a testament to their close bond. Longxuyan Jinshuiguan served as an ancestral temple for the Ong clan from Xiangyun township in Fujian province. Interestingly, several similar temples exist in Singapore, founded by immigrants from the same region. This particular branch in Lak Xun even received its incense from a related temple in Hougang. Lastly, the Hong San Chin Huat Temple Association encompasses three even older temples: Feng Shan Tang, Jin Fa Dian, and Quan Sheng Gong. All originated in Lak Xun. Today, former villagers still gather at Liuxun Sanhemiao Temple, maintaining a connection to their past and shared heritage. The Liuxun Sanhemiao Temple stands as a symbol of community resilience and adaptation. It’s a vibrant reminder of how different groups can come together, preserving their individual traditions while creating something new and lasting.
