Donors Memorial
The Donors Memorial commemorates the various donors for the establishment of the original Paupers Hospital. Among the donors include Rama V Chulalongkorn, King of Siam (1868-1910), who presented the industrial shed to the hospital on 24 May, 1880. Both the Tua Pek Kong Kongsi and the Ghee Hin Kongsi also donated, as did various eminent personalities such as Tan Beng Swee, Noordin Yousoof, Ghulam Meydin Merican and various members of the Merican clan. Oh Yean3 Heng and Gan Kim Swee chipped in to provide funding for construction of the surrounding walls and ward of the hospital.
