Site #3: Lim Bo Seng memorial


The reason why i want to share with you about the Lim Bo Seng memorial is because this marble pagoda was a memorial dedicated to major-general Lim Bo Seng, who was an outstanding World War Two hero who led the anti-japanese resistance movement.

The memorial was built in 1954 in memory of Lim Bo Seng, who led Force 136, an anti-Japanese resistance movement. He was captured by the Japanese in Ipoh in 1944 and died the same year during detention. His body was brought back from Malaya after the war and he was buried at MacRitchie Reservoir with full military honours.
