As the name suggests,
all the temples sharing the same roof here were originally from Kampong Potong
Pasir. With the redevelopment of Potong Pasir in the 1970s and 1980s, all five
temples decided to establish the Potong Pasir Joint Temples Association (宏茂桥波东巴西联和庙) in
1982. They purchased this site to construct a joint temple and the current
building was completed in 1987.
