Leng Sien Keong Temple, Armenian Street Ghaut (30 June 2012)
Leng Sien Keong (Penang Hokkien: Leng3 Sien3 Keong1 靈仙宮 [leŋ-siɛn-kiɔŋ]) is a Chinese temple on Armenian Street Ghaut. It occupies one of the former warehouse outlets along the street.
According to the Ang Kong Keng website (https://www.angkongkeng.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=288&Itemid=28), the temple was established before 1972. The principal deity of this temple is 濟公活佛, known in Pinyin as Jìgōng Huófó and in Penang Hokkien as Chee1 Kong1 Huat3 Hood1, or Ji Gong in English.
Ji Gong is a deified Buddhist monk from the Southern Song Dynasty, who lived from AD 1130 to AD 1207. He was born with the name 李修元 (PY: Lǐ Xiū-yuán, PH: Lee1 Siu3 Guan2). He was a folk hero in China, and after his death was made a folk religious deity.

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.
