Sin Sze Si Ya Temple

This guide to Sin Sze Si Ya Temple in Kuala Lumpur opens in 1860 with the death of mine boss Seng Meng Lee in an ambush during the wars over tin, and the strange sign his followers took from it. You'll hear how his young subordinate Yap Ah Loy carried his spirit tablet north through burning valleys, claiming the dead man guided him in dreams through battle after battle, and how that led to a temple built in 1864 for deities found nowhere else on earth. The temple has since burned, flooded, and been occupied more than once.
