Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is the oldest temple in Malaysia which was founded in 1645 by Chinese Kapitan Tay Kie Ki. During those times, "Kapitans" were appointed chiefs or headmen of various ethnic communities. And in its early years, the temple served the Chinese community's religious needs and functioned as the official administrative centre and a court of justice for the Kapitans.
