The Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple, also known as Poh Hock Seah, is a place associated with Penang's warring clans of the 19th century. It is a clan temple of the Hokkien people who trace their origin to Southern Fujian Province in China. Although registered with the Chinese Protectorate of Penang on 11 October 1892, the Hock Teik Cheng Sin can trace its roots back to 1844, with the founding of the Kean Teik Tong Hokkien association. The Kean Teik Tong was one of the two parties that was involved in the Penang Riots of 1867, together with the Ghee Hin Secret Society, an open warfare along the streets of Penang that resulted in the banning of secret societies. During the riots, the Kean Teik Tong was allied with the Hai Sans, led by Kapitan China Chung Keng Kwee.
