  • When the Malayan Railway had to vacate the land at Tanjong Pagar, so did Sri Muneswarar Peetam Hindu temple. After an eight-year-long search for a new home, they wound up in an unexpected place - A Taoist temple nestled in Ubi Road. In multi-religious and land scarce Singapore, does this come as a surprise?

    I wish that schools can have visits to this type of temples and teach our children how special and wonderful country we live in, that we are so tolerant of each other that even 2 different religion and places of worship can live together side by side without conflict. Maybe there should even be a documentary made about our unique temples and places of worship.

      Back then throughout my primary school even to secondary school years, we had this NE Learning Journey (i think?) that all us students go on a educational tour at all the historical and religious places in Singapore. Had loads of fun learning as all of us keep asking the teachers questions. Ended up it will be the tour guide or the person-in-charge answers all our queries. Flashback good memories!

    Cause unlike Abrahamic religion both religions are accepting and tolerance of other faith.
    Santana Dharma for example believe in a singularity of divine essence that appear in different forms.
    Chinese folk religions do not worship deities as Gods but rather as humans who attain divinity thru good works or luck.

      The dieties of Hinduism are God realized. Hinduism believes entire existence to be the manifestation of Brahman(The eternal God of Hinduism).you're also Brahman. It's a matter of self discovery. And the Hindu deities realized this thing. Even hindu saints realize this and attain liberation.

      Taoism/Chinese Folk Religion is essentially a Chinese version of Hinduism. The two are fundamentally very, very similar. It's just that Indian and Chinese people don't often have the chance to get into close contact with one another often for people to know. However, in SE Asia in places like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, this is kind of a well-known thing. Indians praying in Chinese temples and Chinese in Hindu temples isn't rare.
