This Urban Jungle
A mysterious temple in the heart of a dark jungle - at Marsiling Crescent

This strange temple nestled deep in a jungle may look like a movie set, but it's actually located near Admiralty Road/Marsiling Crescent.

Here's what the STOMPer wrote of his find:

"Photo 1,2,3,4: These pictures were taken when I was trekking through the forest at the junction of Admiralty Road/Marsiling Crescent.  

"I was surprised to come across this makeshift temple in the middle of the forest. Some of the trees were felled and several huts with zinc roofs had taken their place.

"There were tables and some red chairs but not a soul was in sight during the day.  However, in the evening and on weekends the place comes alive when devotees arrived to pray and place their offerings on the altar.

"Photo 5: This monkey was busy feeding on the bananas and "wnar ko kueh" placed on the altar.  When I went near to snap a picture it scampered up a tree and looked at me suspiciously. When I left the place  it quickly climbed down and continued with its  free meal.

"Animals have no conscience and they have no qualms feeding on food offered to deities."

This type of unpleasant sight only exist in kampong days. Don't buy so many deities if you can't have them display nicely in your house or they longer give you luck. Whoever have them should be proud of them as treasure in your house, why leave it in the public just like stray, is it about cleanliness. Wandering spirit also need peace & have their own friends to visit, no time to give you numbers here, so no need to do the extra.... just to gain some favour.

Dear STOMPer,since the whole Singapore have know this mysterious temple because Shin Min have reported.HDB have served the temple with Evict letter to clear up the area within 7 Days.
Dear all STOMPer,please think twice before writing any more article regarding this type of mysterious temple as those affected wandering spirit now have no where to go ! I beleive it is better to leave them alone in the forest than living in your HDB Flats !

Dear all readers,
Please do not take these kind of desolated temples as places of interest. They are actually built to allow those wondering souls to have their own place of rest so that they need not to search for other locations which may disturb the mortals.
Do not go there and ask for any wishes lest invite unnecessary troubles.
