Remembering Sam Sim

Mission History and News No 10





Sam had done his part in transforming the wooden structure of a temple at 11 and 3/4 ms - 407A Woodlands Road Singapore


to this concrete premise at No 6 Fourth Chin Bee Road





Inner truth netizen 2 remembers one gentleman by name of Sam Sim who was acquainted with another devout follower by name of Lionel. Both are near and dear to Lord Bo Tien and also close aquaintences of the late Senior Bro P. Philip and Elder Ling Diung Kwong age 76+ in 2012.

Sam played important part in the years that led to the building of the Singapore mission-related temple at No 6th Fourth Chin Bee Road at Jurong. He was pivotal as resource person who provided the resource information  and took active part that helped the temple to upgrade from temporary premises at 407A Woodlands Road to 3 storey concrete temple with basement car park and roof top balcony at Jurong.

But as what Lord Bo Tien had said that there is often an element of fate which cannot be ignored and which at times even the saints may not be able to intervene significantly though saints could moderate and a big issue may end up lesser of an issue even if they cannot be no issue. This element of fate affects everyone even good people.

But Heaven is graceful to facilitate his good and wholesome contribution towards the purchase and building of new premises. He was even able to have the good fortune to see the fruition and growth of the temple though this was finite because of the element of fate.

He was the manager of a town council in Singapore but he  was always unassuming, humble, approachable and an asset to society, more so to the mission of the lord. We are sure that he is still who he is and an asset to others in many ways.

The lord saint, Lord Bo Tien reiterated that a temple is the people and not the building. It is people that make up a temple. Sam Sim is and will ever continue to be one of the people that make up the temple and the mission. 

It is people like Sam who will make the difference and make a temple what the temple should be. He is ever a background man and that is him but when the calling came some years ago, he answered the call admirably and that is what matters. The lord saint knows and we should know as well.
