Having connected with Wong Meng Lei he planned a one day trip to Sibu in preparation for his mother's trip in August. I hope those of you who used to work in Kapit Christ Hospital or had known Dr. Harold Brewster will communicate with Alex .
In Sibu he was shown the various significant sites of Heng Hua History and was entertained by the Heng Hua Association Chairman Mr. Ling Choong Kiong (Heng Hua Noodles and Tai Ping Eggs no less.
He was also taken to visit Tien Sik Church the first church built by the Heng Huas soon after their arrival on the land north of Sibu.
It was an amazing journey down memory lane for all concerned.

I am Betty Brewster Blakney the granddaughter of Rev William Brewster. My father was Dr. Harold Brewster. He and my husband Dick Blakney were part of a team that started Christ Hospital in Kapit. Dick and I met and married and had our first daughter in Kapit. We were there 1956-1960. During that time I served as the nurse for a few months at the Sungie Teku Clinic while Miss Emma Palm was on furlough.
