Lim Bo Seng Memorial

The Lim Bo Seng Memorial is a war memorial in Esplanade Park, Singapore - not in Johor, Malaysia as this directory lists. Unveiled on 29 June 1954, the 10th anniversary of Lim Bo Seng's death in Batu Gajah Jail, Perak, it honours the WWII resistance fighter who served with Force 136. Designed by Ng Keng Siang and modelled on the Victory Memorial in Nanjing, it is a white-marble octagonal pagoda with a three-tier bronze roof guarded by four bronze lions, and is the only structure in Singapore commemorating an individual's WWII efforts. It was gazetted as a National Monument on 28 December 2010 together with The Cenotaph and Tan Kim Seng Fountain as the Esplanade Park Memorials.
