Lim Bo Seng Memorial

The Lim Bo Seng Memorial in the Esplanade Park is one of the most prominent landmarks in Singapore. Lim Bo Seng is one of Singapore's War Heroes during the second World War. He headed many anti-Japanese activities. He was captured by the Japanese on 27th March 1944. However, although the Japanese tortured him severely, he refused to provide them with any information about Force 136, the guerrilla task force he and Captain John Davis set up. On June 29, 1944, he passed on in the early hours of the day. Lim Bo Seng will always be one of Singapore's heroes.
