This is the story of Pak Sian Temple located in Sungai Udang, Melaka.

The precursor of the temple was Xian Shi (transliteration) Temple, built by Chinese ancestors who migrated southwards in earlier times. Due to its extensive history, the temple became dilapidated and shabby. The initiator, Mr Ong Tie Kie, once accidentally made a wish for his impoverished self winning a lottery ticket, therefore he initiated the rebuilding of the temple alongside his brothers. Afterwards, due to the British army setting up camp in that location, an order was issued to relocate Pak Sian Temple.

Now that Pak Sian Temple underwent a few rebuilds and relocation, standing upright at its current address, flourishing with reverence.

Each temple has its own originating history, this is the story of Wah Kong temple in Puchong.

At the temple, there goes an allusion as such: an enormous snake who has cultivated spiritual training for 800 years was burned to death by an Englishman a few days just before it metamorphoses into a dragon. In 2005, the committee members of the temple dug out golden hued “dragon bones”, which they believe belonged to the enormous snake who did not get to ascend heavenly order and metamorphose into a dragon. Thus they constructed a pagoda in the temple to lay the remaining broken bones together with the soil of the excavation spot to rest, and for people to pay their respects.
