As an important deity for Fui Chiu people, Tan Kung Xian Shi also has a sedan chair during the procession. The sedan chair was shaped like a small shrine, with four animal foot-shaped legs under the base to support it.

The tin artefacts here refer to the instruments used in the early temple rituals. Some of them have significant historical value. For example, the “Five Sacrificial Utensils” are vessels used in traditional Chinese folk worship to contain offerings. The set includes an incense burner, a pair of candlesticks, and a pair of vases. The vases bear the seal of “Chop Yu He” indicating that this set of Five Sacrificial Utensils was made by the renowned Chop Yu He in Kuala Lumpur. Passed down through four generations, Chop Yu He has evolved into the present-day Royal Selangor Pewter. Additionally, there are artefacts associated with the history of Chinese families, such as a pair of candlesticks donated by the early Kuala Lumpur Chinese businessman Teo Hang Sam. His grandson, Teo Chiang Kok, is the current trustee of the temple. Therefore, the artefacts within the temple often bear witness to the development of a family in Kuala Lumpur.

The copper incense burner displayed here was once used in the temple. The earliest among them can be traced back to the thirteenth year of Emperor Guangxu’s reign. These incense burners bear the titles of deities, such as: Sin Sze Si Ya, Si Ya, Chenghuang Hall, Goddess of Fertility, and God of Wealth. The incense burners also carry the names of donors, and some are inscribed with the workshop or business names that produced the incense burners, for example: made by Guangdong Province Xiaobanfu Yuanhe.
