Chinese temple built in the 1860s just as Johor Bahru was being opened up. They also established a cemetery on the land around their lodge and which is popularly referred to as Kongsi Shan (Kongsi Cemetery). In 1913, its leaders joined with other Chinese to found the Foon Yew School with Wong Ah Fook as manager and Lim Ah Siang as his deputy. Wound up with the enactment of the Societies Ordinance Lim Ah Siang died soon after executing the bond and it was his successor, Lin Jin He, who had to manage the disposal of Ngee Heng’s assets.

The Ngee Heng leaders had foreseen that a brotherhood like the Ngee Heng was no longer an appropriate organisation to represent the interests of the Chinese and buried the connections to a past that were no longer relevant. It is also questionable whether as merchants, they were really comfortable with the brotherhood’s martial spirit, secret rituals and blood oaths. They preferred to
