ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You may have read about him during your Social Studies class, but as with most historical characters, you may have just scratched the surface of the legend Lim Bo Seng. Join us as we do a character deep-dive into the war hero and learn about some of the critical episodes in his life. In this episode, look forward to:
- Learning about Lim Bo Seng's early childhood and adult life before the war, and how he pivoted to his wartime role
- Hearing about Lim Bo Seng's wife and children and the sacrifices they too had to make
- Understanding the impact Lim Bo Seng has had on generations after him, especially with his memorial in place
