The Lim Bo Seng Memorial is one of three memorials at Esplanade Park gazetted collectively as a National Monument. Constructed in 1953, it honours the sacrifice of the eponymous individual during the Second World War. Lim was active in anti-Japanese efforts, leading a resistance group known as Force 136. Despite being betrayed and arrested by the Kempeitai, he refused to name his companions even after repeated torture. Succumbing to his injuries on 29 June 1944, Lim is remembered for his heroic actions in service of the country. Learn more at roots.sg.
