Nanyang Hakka Federation

Continue to the Hakka Association Singapore, where you’ll uncover the role of clan associations in supporting new migrants—and how some became linked to underground networks and rival factions.

Thian Hock Keng Temple

  • 20m
At the historic Thian Hock Keng Temple, learn how faith, loyalty, and brotherhood intersected with secret society rituals. This sacred site was not only a place of worship but also a gathering point tied to early community power structures.
