History

There was an incident that a fire broke out in the rubber store of Sultan Ibrahim in Pasir Pelangi and the estate workers could not put it out. As the fire continued burning, the police were sent for. The Sikh came and helped. They carried carts of water and some of them used green branches to put out the fire. After the fire was put out, Sultan Ibrahim granted them a piece of land for the temple.

In 1916, the Sikh requested for a piece of land from the Johor Police Commissioner to build a Gudwara Sahib. In 1921, the present site was gazetted as a temple reserve. This land was very muddy and swampy. The Sikhs filled up the land with sand and stones and upon this they constructed their first Sikh Temple in late 1921.
