In celebration of Tew Seng Keng’s 72nd Anniversary and the Grand Birthday of Zhang Gong Sheng Jun and accompanying deities, a Peace & Prosperity Banquet was held, featuring 120 tables. That evening, 9 auspicious items were auctioned off, receiving enthusiastic support from devotees and raising a total of RM80,795.
This marks the first Peace Banquet organized in the new Tew Seng Keng Temple.
To commemorate the completion of the new Tew Seng Keng Temple and the deities’ birthdays, a culinary carnival was recently organized and received an overwhelming response from the devotees. The temple committee hopes to continue this event annually to grow tremendous crowds. This would enhance the temple’s spiritual influence, it aligns with the vision of transforming the temple into a religious tourism destination.
Through the Tourism Council led by Selangor State Executive Council (EXCO) YB Dato’ Ng Suee Lim, the Selangor government is actively promoting initiatives across the state to boost tourism—including creating food and handicraft streets.
The temple’s efforts resonate with the state’s vision, attracting devotees to visit, take photos, and share their experiences. Recently, a newlywed couple chose the temple for their wedding photoshoot and donated RM8,888 to Tew Seng Keng Temple. A music production firm even selected the temple as a shooting scene for their Chinese New Year album. Devotees are welcome to visit, take photos, and create lasting memories.
Special thanks to renowned calligraphy artist Chung Siew Lee for generously donating her treasured artwork to support the temple’s future development fund. Notably, the bidder who won the evening’s auctioned blessing items received a 4-day, 3-night complimentary stay package—with meals and stay included—at the Won Majestic Hotel in Cambodia.
YB Tuan Ganabatirau: Funding Aims to Unite All Malaysians
Klang MP Tuan Ganabatirau stated that the Pakatan Harapan Government is the first federal administration to provide funds for non-Muslim religious activities. A total of RM50 million was approved to support this initiative, aimed to unite people of all races, rather than divide them. The Selangor government has allocated land to non-Islamic religious organizations, including Chinese temples, Hindu temples, Christian churches, and Chinese and Tamil vernacular schools.
He emphasized that temples are cohesive to Chinese communities and commended Tew Seng Keng’s board of committee members’ efforts in constructing such a magnificent temple upon receiving the land grant from the Selangor government, providing a sacred place of worship for devotees.
Guests at the event included Former Selangor EXCO Dato’ Teng Chang Khim, Klang Royal City Council Low Kwee Sia, Gan Eu Eng, and Lee Sek Wun, Permanent Honorary Chairman Dato Ng Teck Hua, Dato Dr. George Ng, Ooi Ah Khau, Advisors Dato Ng Tong Chun, Dato Zhuang Xiu Chun, and Dato Gan You Ting, Lim Seng Hong, Lee Boon Pin, Legal Advisor Dato Teh Kim Teh, North Klang District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner S.
