After obtaining the sacred incense, they officially became a sub-branch of Genting Highlands’ Peng Lai Dian. Hu Rong Qian, who had served as a medium for many years, informed Qing Shui Zu Shi that he had committed to this role for five years. Qing Shui Zu Shi, honoring the commitment, agreed to the five-year duration. Following this period, Hu Rong Qian expressed his desire to step down from his role as a medium due to work commitments.
Despite Hu Rong Qian’s wish to retire, his brother-in-law pleaded with Qing Shui Zu Shi to allow him to continue. Many villagers relied on Hu Rong Qian’s accurate mediumship, and despite his dedicated service, he had never accepted any red packets. In return for his devotion, his machinery business flourished, and he retired around the age of fifty.
In 1988, as Singapore began urbanizing, Peng Lai Dian faced a dilemma. Dato Johnny Ong, the founder’s son, harbored a longstanding desire to construct an actual temple. Coincidentally, in the same year, the government issued a letter stating that the temple had to be relocated. Between 1988 and 1989, they shifted multiple times, eventually finding suitable land in Choa Chu Kang to build a temple. However, their plans faced another setback when authorities declared the land unsuitable for religious use, necessitating another move.
In 2002, Dato Johnny Ong successfully bid for a temple land in Sembawang and initiated fundraising for construction. With the support of successful businessmen and philanthropists, construction commenced in 2003, marking a new chapter for Peng Lai Dian.
To this day, Peng Lai Dian has received support from various religious organizations and volunteers worldwide. It has become a beacon, attracting younger generations to respect and engage in prayers.
