Most of the early Burmese community were concentrated in the Burmese Village in Pulau Tikus. The original site of the temple land was purchased by Nonia Betong from George Layton for 390 Spanish dollars. The temple was founded on 1st August 1803 and named the Nandy Moloh Temple. The four trustees were all ladies: Nonia Betong, Nonia Meerut, Nonia Koloh and Nonia Bulan. The Burmese community expanded, and together with the Thai Buddhist community they appealed to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom for land to build bigger temples and burial grounds for elders. Queen Victoria through the East India Company granted land jointly for the Siamese and Burmese communities to erect their temples. The Burmese Temple Trustees in 1845 were Nong May and Bon Khan.
