The late Tan Sri Lim began by gathering a group of friends to form the Chin Swee Temple Society. Many of the founding members were of the Anxi Clan and from his ancestry village of Penglai. Always leading by example, the late Tan Sri Lim led a donation drive and contributed a 28-acre land for the construction of the temple. His companies, Resorts World Berhad and Genting Berhad, also made a cash donation of RM8.1 million towards the building fund. The late Tan Sri Lim was elected chairman of the society and his son, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, was appointed its deputy chairman. With the same tenacity that he demonstrated to build Genting Highlands Resort, the late Tan Sri Lim took on the roles of the planner, architect, designer, contractor and supervisor in the construction of the temple. The steep and rocky terrain made the construction process arduous and dangerous, and it was impossible to utilise modern machinery for fundamental work, such as piling. Manual labour was deployed and 18 years were spent to complete the construction. The Chin Swee Caves Temple was officially open on 29 March 1994. #### Cookies Required Cookies are not enabled on your browser. Please enable cookies in your browser preferences to continue.

Chin Swee Caves Temple
History.
After completing the building of Genting Highlands Resort in 1975, which at that time was just a hotel with a small casino, Lim Goh Tong began construction of the temple. With the same dedication that he demonstrated in developing the Genting Highlands Resort, the late Lim began by gathering a group of friends many of whom were from his own Anxi clan and ancestry village of Penglai in Fujian Province of China, and established the Chin Swee Temple Society. Always leading by example, the late Lim began a donation drive by contributing a 28-acre land for the construction of the temple.
