Leng Ern Jee is a Dejiao temple located along Jalan Rajah in Balestier, Singapore.
History
Originally located along Circular Road, the temple began as a shrine in the upper floor of a shophouse dedicated to Lu Dong Bin and Ji Gong during the Japanese occupation of Singapore.[1][2] After World War 2, donation was collected to move the temple to Jalan Rajah.[1] A traditional Chinese medicine clinic was opened in 1969.[3][4] The main temple hall is devoted to Lu Dong Bin and Ji Gong, the rear hall is used for honouring ancestors, and the second floor is dedicated to Guanyin.[1]
The temple is included in the Balestier Heritage Trail by the National Heritage Board.[1]
