In the suburbs of Singapore, dominated by the high-rises of the government housing projects, redevelopment of old communities has resulted in temples being torn down and merged into newly constructed "joint temples." It may be this god's birthday on one day and that god's birthday on the next day, which means plenty of occasions for setting up opera stages in open areas around the nearby apartment blocks.
在新加坡的郊區，聳立著一大群、一大群的組屋（國民住宅），由於大社區的重新開發，原本的舊廟大多在拆遷後合住在新蓋的「聯合廟」，一下子這個神明生日，一下子是那個神明生日，寺廟附近的組屋空地上，經常可以看見藤木搭建的戲台。
