Ang Chee Sia Ong Temple (Chinese: 安濟聖王廟) is a Chinese temple affiliated to Taoism, Chinese Buddhism and Confucianism, it is located in West Coast, Singapore. The main hall is dedicated to the Lord Green Dragon (Chinese: 青龍爺), also known as Ang Chee Sia Ong (Chinese: 安濟聖王).
The temple was established in 1918 when the incense ashes (Chinese: 香火) of the original Green Dragon Temple at Han River, Chaozhou, Guangdong, China was brought over to Singapore by Wang Dong Qing and worshipped at his home.[1]
In 1930, a temple was established at Pasir Panjang's 7th Milestone for public worship to Ang Chee Sia Ong.[1] The temple land was later slated for redevelopment and the temple moved to West Coast Drive. The temple was formally consecrated in 1997.[1][2]
