In 2013, the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA) held an "Old Building Restoration Award" ceremony in the auditorium of the Lam Ann Association. Due to its outstanding performance in the restoration project, the Hong San See Temple is the only Grade A restoration project earning the URA Architectural Heritage Awards. In the same year, the Lam Ann Association, for its unique achievement in the extensive five-year restoration project of the century-old Hong San See Temple, was honored with the "2013 Outstanding Clan Association Award" by the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations.
