Cheng Kuai Hean Yu Per Choo or Qing Xi Xian You Bo Zhu (清溪显佑伯主, 顯佑伯主) is the main Deity of Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple.  The Deity is the 5th celestial statue of the City God from the Sheng Hong Temple in Anxi Fujian, China.  The Sheng Hong Deity statue arrived in Singapore in 1917.  After several relocations, it was enshrined in a temple at Koo Chye Ba (韮菜芭), a village in the vicinity of Paya Lebar.  In the 1970s. the village was affected by the Government’s resettlement plan and the Temple subsequently relocated to its present location (Arumugam Road), also in the Paya Lebar area. The Temple rebuilt on this vacant land and retained its original name .
