Ama Keng Road

This road probably derived its name from the Chinese temple (ama keng) located in Lim Chu Kang. The temple, built in 1990, is dedicated to "holy mother", the goddess of peace and happiness. In the Fujian Chinese dialect, the word ama keng literally means "grandmother temple" (ama means "grandmother" and keng means "temple". The first temple, made of wood and atap was renovated in 1943 (zinc roof/timber structure) and again in 1965 (tile roof).
