 During this period, several community measures including blogs and online petitions were started to save the temple and the Bodhi tree; the temple remained active in contributing to the grassroots organisations in Braddell Heights with funds and manpower despite modest resources.A notable example was featured in The Straits Times that the temple regularly sponsors functions for its next door neighbour, the Ramakrishna Mission Home for orphans and wayward boys.To reciprocate their kindness, the home opened its gates for the devotees to take a short cut through its premises for those walking uphill to the temple.
