Ho Yan Hor Museum

Dr. Ho always offer his hands to the needy. As a Chinese physician, he had seen patients with common cold, running nose and feverish due to the body heat. Ho Yan Hor was created as the solution to the health discomfort.

During the era, Chinese immigrants from China came to Kinta Valley to work as tin mining coolies. To work under the hot sun and rainy days got them to fall sick easily. They could not afford to be sick and skip working, they would drink Ho Yan Hor as prevention and treatment of the flu and cold.

While the wife took care of the business at the shop, Dr. Ho would cycle from villages to towns and covered the Malay Peninsula to promote Ho Yan Hor. Despite the sore blistered feet, he was able to get himself his very first vehicle, Morris Minor in 1948, and also a Fordson Light Van, the Ho Yan Hor Marketing Van in 1951.

The factory of Ho Yan Hor was built in 1954 at Kuala Kangsar Road. The herbal tea was getting known in Singapore and Thailand while the first overseas branch was setup in Hong Kong in the 1960s. The brand got a spotlight in the United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand in the 1970s.

The history that matters is the journey of Ho Yan Hor. The original home of Dr. Ho Kai Cheong has turned into a museum in Ipoh. Ho Yan Hor Museum is located in the old town of Ipoh and it stands the place where history happened.

The museum was set up in January 2016, in the loving memory of the greatest father by the children, as well as to honor the founder of Ho Yan Hor, Dr. Ho Kai Cheong; to share his valuable moments through hardships and glories along his entrepreneurship journey.
