Kwan Im Thong temple in Bugis to close till end-April
The famous Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple (四马路观音庙) is closing its doors to the public from 27 March onwards.
Located near Waterloo Street in Bugis, the temple draws lots of devotees and tourists even on a weekday.
The temple is said to bring worshippers good luck after praying to the Kuan Yin, or Avalokiteśvara, the Goddess of Mercy.
Closed till further notice
According to a notice found on the temple’s entrance (spotted by a Facebook user from Singapore Atrium Sale), the management decided to close the temple temporary in light of the COVID-19 situation.
The management also apologises to devotees for the inconvenience caused and mentions that the closure will last until the situation improves.
