梧槽大伯公 Goh Chor Tua Pek Kong

梧槽大伯公 Goh Chor Tua Pek Kong The Goh Chor Tua Pek Kong Temple offers, an abode of peace and tranquillity to devotees who burn incense and and joss to seek blessings.

The origins of the Goh Chor Tua Pek Kong Temple at 249 Balestier Road can be traced back to the Hokkien labourers who worked on the northern fringes of sugar plantations in Balestier. They established the temple in 1847 to house Tua Pek Kong, a Taoist deity popular among the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia for his ability to grant good fortune, cure diseases and ward off storms and other dangers.23 The temple has a single forecourt with a low, tiled roof built in the southern Chinese style that is decorated with dragons, birds, fish, blazing pearls, phoenixes and flowers. The temple also features a freestanding Chinese wayang (opera) stage – one of two that still exists on mainland Singapore. Teochew and Hokkien operas are still performed there during important festivals
