Like most temples in Singapore today, Chu Sheng Temple houses three older temples. These temples were formerly from villages in Yio Chu Kang. Affected by redevelopment in the late 1970s, the temples decided to combine and built Chu Sheng Temple in 1981. As a majority of the temples’ worshippers were Hokkien, the temple building was designed in the traditional Hokkien architectural style, characterised by pronounced curvatures in the roof ridges. Former villagers still gather at Chu Sheng Temple regularly. The temple is also active in community work such as giving red packets to the needy in Ang Mo Kio today.
