Situated at the edge of the town padang, The Three Saint's Temple
is the oldest building in Sandakan. The three saints are Kwan Woon
Cheung - saint of righteousness; the goddess of Tin Hou, worshipped
by fishermen and seamen for protection, and the Min Cheong Emperor,
worshipped by those who seek success in examination ( even to this
day!). Four Chinese communities got together and started the temple:
the Cantonese, Teochew, Hakkas and the Hainanese. In the temple
is a plate inscribed with the names of all those who gave more than
RM2. The bell donated by the first Kapitan Cina of Sandakan, Fung
Ming Shan can still be seen in the Temple today.
