What is the impact of tourism on Thian Hock Kheng Temple in Singapore?

Question

Did the tourism board built any extra boards, buildings in the temple?
Does the temple still reflect singaporean culture?

Answer 1

1. General interest (including tourism) in the religious and cultural significance of the temple helped realise the recent restoration/conservation project.

2. Singapore has various ethnic cultures (especially Malay, Chinese and various peoples from the Indian sub-continent), so "Singaporean culture" is a nonsensical term. This temple is located in Singapore's Chinatown, and is typical of Chinese culture and religion.

Answer 2

nothing
