Lau King Howe Hospital Memorial Museum
📍 Sibu
The Lau King Howe Hospital Memorial Museum is a heritage museum located in the grounds of the former Lau King Howe Hospital — one of the earliest modern medical facilities in Sibu, originally established in the 1930s. The museum preserves the legacy of Dr. Lau King Howe, a pioneering physician who dedicated his life to serving the health needs of the local community during a time when modern medicine was scarce in rural Sarawak. Exhibits include vintage medical equipment, historical photographs, original ward furnishings, and documents tracing the hospital's evolution from a small clinic to a full-fledged medical centre. The museum also highlights the broader story of healthcare development in Sarawak and the sacrifices made during the Japanese occupation of World War II. It stands as a tribute to community resilience and the spirit of service that defined early Sibu.
