Fot those older generations, the old Bau Dispensary used to be the main and only medical centre in town. We used to say visiting "drug bottle" in Hakka. It is located on top of a hill on the Lundu Road with the old army camp behind which is now has become a jungle.
However, since the new Bau Hospital has been set up along the same road, the old dispensary has been closed and kept for other purposes. More recently, it has been rumoured as haunted by student ghosts. Possibly due to the numerous bodies placed there overnight for identification after the 1979 Bau Lake bus tragedy. A group of workers who camped overnight at the dispensary was disturbed during their sleep according to rumour.
Until today, the building still standing tall opposite the Chinese cemetery.
