Built in 1975, the temple, which is a destination for many devotees during Wesak Day and the annual Medicine Buddha Puja which falls in November, has been closed since the enforcement of the MCO on March 18, according to temple vice-chairman Wong Swee Seng. Every year on Wesak Day, the sunning of the thangka is held at noon where devotees would carry the canvas into an open space to symbolise seeking world peace, enlightenment, merits and wisdom.
