More information on Lim Bo Seng Memorial

This memorial near the mouth of the Singapore River may be small and inconspicuous, but the martyr for whom it was built was in no way insignificant. Born in China, Major General Lim Bo Seng was a great war hero. He organized a massive anti-Japanese resistance force prior to the Japanese occupation. Fleeing to China before the invasion, he returned to the region for a counter-attack with the British Army. His unfortunate arrest by Japanese forces led to his imprisonment and eventual death after three months of torture. A true patriot, he died without revealing the names of his comrades.
