PoW graveyard now a museum


Sacrifices remembered: POW Camp No.1 in Ranau which has been turned into a museum. The museum is separated into two wings — one for historical relics and information and the other dedicated to women.

KOTA KINABALU: What used to be a muddy graveyard, or rather a lone stone commemorating prisoners of war (PoWs) who died from the Death March during World War II, is now a site worth visiting.

The once forlorn and unattended area that was erected in 1965 now has been beautifully landscaped and has been turned into a museum – PoW Camp No.1.
