"Venerable Sumangalo helped in rendering Chinese and English nomenclature into Sanskrit ...". I don't think "nomenclature" is the right word here, but even if it is, it needs to be disambiguated.
I think there's too much detail in the first two paragraphs, most of which is about Bukit Chandu and the battle of Battle of Pasir Panjang. not the temple. "... the British placed heavy artillery guns on Chwee Chian Hill in anticipation of seaborne attacks by the Japanese off the coast of Pasir Panjang." What's the relevance of Chwee Chian Hill? It's unclear to me whether the temple is built on the site of the battle, whether there's one hill or many, and what the relevence is of the fairly extensive description of the history of the area surrounding the temple. Could the first two paragraphs be merged into something more focused?
"He was widely known as one of the founders, as Acting Chairman of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) during the Japanese Occupation." One of the founders of what?
Done: Lee was one of the co-founders of the OCBC bank, one the Big Four banks in Singapore. He was the Acting Chairman during the Japanese Occupation.

"The second phase of the temple is expected to be completed towards the end of 2007 ...". Needs to be updated.
"She was responsible for setting up the Maha Bodhi School in Penang and later in Singapore in 1946 to promote Buddhist education to the young." This needs to be rewritten. I'd suggest something, but I'm not entirely certain I understand what it's trying to say.
"the furniture in Poh Ern Shih for its resident Sangha ..." I know that Sangha is wikilinked, but I think the term needs to be briefly explained in this article.
Is there nothing more that can be said about the architecture and layout of the temple? I get the impression that the temple itself has not yet been built, only the office complex, but I've got no sense of what size it is. How many storeys? How many people does it house? What's the overall size of the temple complex. Will it consist just of the temple and office building when ita completed? How big is the site?
Done: PES is already fully built in late 2008 (Phase II). I've added some referenced details to the best of my knowledge as per request. --

That's about it, I'm putting the article on hold now.
