Waterloo Street Temple To Remove Afternoon Closure From 27 Mar

Throughout the pandemic, Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple maintained a 30-minute closure in the afternoon for cleaning and disinfecting purposes.

As society learns to live with Covid-19 now, the temple along Waterloo Street will do away with the afternoon closure from 27 Mar.

With the removal of the ‘afternoon break’, devotees may visit the temple any time throughout its opening hours from 7am to 6.30pm.
