In every war, a hero will appear. It's not that he or she wanted to be one or expect themselves to be a hero. Most hero are born under "special circumstances", it's what they've done, those heroic deeds that made them a hero. They wanted to protect whom they love deeply, country, family, dear friends.

A national hero of Singapore during the World War II, Lim Bo Seng, died a heroic death. He was a patriot who loved his family and comrades. Lim Bo Seng is a member of the Force 136; he was appointed the leader of the Malayan Chinese, involved in Operation Gustavus. During the Operation, he was stopped by the Japanese at the checkpoint at Gopeng. When he was captured by the Japanese Kempeitai, he went through interrogation and heavy tortures from them. Although he was tortured horribly, he never gave in to them, he never betrayed his comrades. His loyalty towards his comrades and patriotism towards his country never faltered. His body was weakened from the haemorrhoids operation before the caption at Gopeng, going through horrendus tortures and in addition, suffering from dysentary, he was bedridden and died.
