This society was established in the year 1968, in conjunction with of the completion of the construction of Rumah Berhala Hong Tien Tiang. This holy building houses a hall, which is an ideal place for everyone to pray and to learn how to pay salutations to the Buddha. Ven. Por Than Kren and Ven. Prak Bault jointly conducted the launching ceremony of the hall.
The number of participants has been increasing since early 1971, and it was thus decided that the “Dungun Buddhist Youth Circle” to be formed in order to attract more youngsters to learn the Dharma. In April of the same year, an organizing committee was officially formed under the leadership of Wee
Shi Chong; with the committee members comprising Chong Cheng Sing，Lim Chong Kiat,Goh Shi Siong，Tan Yue Ken，Chin Siew Wah，Gan Geok Lan，Tan Lan Ching，Chong Mee Keng，Tham Yu Heng，and Chen Boon Leong. We are indeed grateful that we had the strong support and guidance from our Advisor, Prak Kuan, Tan Kwang Heng, Tan Yen Chuan and Chua Hin Leong. The ceremony was successfully held at the Kelab Kong Ee Hall on 14th June 2016.
