(Present Tian Hou Temple in Kuantan)
The
Kuantan Tian Hou Temple (Kheng Chew Temple that time)
were build in 1902, and it is one of the oldest temple in
Kuantan (close to 100 years). It is situated Jalan Bukit
Ubi about 5 Kilometres from the Kuantan town and it
commands a magnificient view of the South China Sea.The
main deities that being worshipped here is The Heavenly
Goddess Tian Hou ( Ma Zhu ) and Shu Wei Goddess.The
temple were build by some Hainanese clansmen after they
founded the HainaneseAssociation in year 1895 as a place
of worshipping Gods and ancestors as well as helping the
old and sick fellow clansmen.
In 1992 the Kuantan Hainanese Association committees
members decided to recontruct and beautyfy the Tian Hou
TempleThe reconstruction,beautification and landscaping
programme is estimated to cost about Rm 3,000,000.00.It
is hoped that The Kuantan Tian Hou Temple will become one
of the tourist attractions in Kuantan.The plans for
recontruction were finally approved in 1997,and the
beautification programme has been undertaken.

In 1997,the economics downturn
and financial turmoil has hits our country.It made our
fund raising activities much moredifficult and a very
daunting task. But we felt that the spirits and prides of
Tian Hou Goddess and Shu Wei Goddess has motivated us to
continue the unaccomplished task.We appeal to all Chinese
communities in the world to show theirsupport and share
the responsibility with us to ensure the success of the
temple reconstruction and extention programme.
