Dr Lim Boon Keng is a prominent Singaporean historical figure responsible for helping to shape Singapore's history whom many may know as the namesake of Boon Keng MRT Station. The first Chinese boy to receive a Queen's Scholarship, he returned to Singapore in 1892 with a first-class honour in medicine. He founded schools, championed education for girls, rallied public support on many public causes of his day. For all his good work, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire, and yet he was accused of being a spy and collaborator of the Japanese during the Second World War.
Lim Boon Keng, The Musical, traces the ups and downs of a man full of ideas and ideals, as he reflects on his life and his philosophy in the early 20th Century Singapore, and reveals his deeds and contributions through Singapore's colonial times, the second world war and its aftermath.
