 In January 2008, a legal suit, denoted Eng Foong Ho v. Attorney-General, was filed by three devotees to save the temple site from government acquisition, alleging that it was in violation of the Constitution.The case was dismissed by the High Court on 25 February 2008 on the grounds that "the devotees had no standing to make the application".The temple was given two months to relocate to a temporary site, and subsequently to a permanent home in Tai Seng Avenue.
