Tien How Temple, Batu Pahat

Tien How Temple (GPS: 1.84884, 102.92781) is a Chinese temple in downtown Batu Pahat, Johor. Established in 1912, it is the oldest Chinese temple in town. The temple belongs to the Lim clan, whose clan association, the Lim Sz Chong Su, is next to it.

As with many of the oldest Chinese temples in Malaysia, Tien How Temple was built for the veneration of Mazu, the Goddess of the Sea, as thanksgiving for safe passage through the sea. It was originally sited near the Batu Pahat wet market, near the Batu Pahat River, but was relocated to its present site a few decades ago.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
