Lim Bo Seng: Singapore's Best-Known War Hero by Clara Show and Chu Yi Min (aka JDK)

A successful businessman, Lim Bo Seng became synonymous with the anti-war movement in Singapore during World War II. His commitment towards the resistance campaign against Japanese aggressors came with a hefty price. He was to suffer a heart-wrenching separation from his family and eventually sacrifice his own life. His incarceration in prison for anti-Japanese activities was the ultimate test of faith. Yet the true hero never faltered, not even under the harshest conditions imaginable. Lim fought his captors with his only weapon - an unbroken spirit. He died in triumph, and his legacy lives on.
