Elizabeth Choy - Singapore's War Heroine, Politician and Teacher (1910 - 2006)
Better known in Singapore as a war heroine, Mrs Elizabeth Choy and her husband were jailed and tortured by the Japanese Military Administration Department for helping to pass food, medicine and messages to British prisoners of war during the Japanese Occupation. Her psychological resilience helped her to endure the interrogations by her Japanese captors. After the war, Mrs Choy was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of her valour during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore.
In her reflection on the lessons learnt from the war, she said, “My values are quite changed. I am no more materialistic, even to this day. Never mind if I have no mansion, no diamonds... still I’m happy.”
Mrs Elizabeth Choy also made history by becoming Singapore's first woman in the Legislative Council in 1951. She entered the political arena in 1950 when she contested unsuccessfully at the Municipal Elections as an Independent candidate. On recounting how she got into politics, she said, “I was persuaded by a very prominent Singaporean by the name of V P Mendis to stand for this election... He told me Singapore was an emerging country working towards self-rule and independence. And he said with my experience I must help to promote the political growth of Singapore. I was reluctant. But after much persuasion, I agreed to stand as an Independent candidate in the Cairnhill constituency."
Foremost, Mrs Elizabeth Choy was a natural and dedicated educator for 40 years. She started teaching first at St. Margaret's School and later St. Andrew's School; and was the first principal of the Singapore School for the Blind in 1956. For her years of service in education, she was awarded the Long Service Award by the Singapore Government in 1973. She retired at St. Andrew's in 1974.

Elizabeth Choy
Elizabeth Choy, who died on September 14 aged 95,
risked her life supplying medicine, money and messages to
British civilians interned in Singapore's Changi Jail during
the Second World War.
She and her husband, Choy Khun Heng, who were running
a canteen, incurred further risk by sending in radio parts
for hidden receivers on a daily ambulance run until the
Japanese instituted a crackdown after a British-Australian
commando raid sank seven Japanese ships outside the harbour
in September 1943.

Self Reflection
Well,I have learnt alot through group work,I think we did not put in enough group effort to make the blog a better one.But I'm sure we can organise our blog better due to this mistake.
I'm sure all in the group realise it too. I learnt that team effort for any project is important and we cannot wait till the next day to post or do something which is supposed to be done today.
I hope that we can come together and discuss our project together on a day where everybody is free and we can sit comfortably at the library or even StarBucks to discuss while having a drink.

Self Reflection
Actually, to update the blog and all sort of things needed alot of time and effort. However, i realised that not all of the post is our effort. Some of the post is actually just copy and paste.Although, some effort was put in to search the data, we are not putting any effort in reforming the work.
To go so far, many things have happen. There are problem like, incooperative member unwilling to work, unable to find the data we like. Many of the problem are still remain unsolved.This blog are all in mess as there are mostly posting that are last minute work.
Receiving the marks that we receive, i don think i am delighted. Some group member might agree to this. To get better marks, lets all work hard.

My self reflection...
We have come across so many weeks and months together and it is time to think and see what have we done so far in the pass weeks.As far as my memories can take me, at first when we started this blog we seldom visited it and posted on it.
Now everything has changed we started posting regularly it is all thanks to our leader Leonda. She is the one who organised us and told us what to do. I am not exaggerating.
We have progressed alot and we must keep progressing. We have got our mark, but I don't think we are satisfied. To improve on it I think we have to post and comment regularly.I think it will be great if everyone can post thrice a week.
It is not about posting that bothers me, just that we must edit the text before we write it in the blog.
That's it members, hope it helps.

Back to work~
Well,the exams are over and I am rather disappointed with the marks we get for English project work...^^Thanks for everyone's contribution!I think our progress is like !@#$%^&*!@#$%^& and we could do better,right?This time,we will have to work hard on presenting our work in the most orderly manner ever(which I really hate because I don't like to show my face)...We can take a break now from our hectic lives but,work will resume from Term 3 onwards!I hope everyone will be well-prepared...Someone should tell Wan Qi what she needs to do.She don't have a computer,she can go library to research.It doesn't necessary need a computer to start work.This time,everyone must really contribute so that we can get higher grades for English in July(or my mother will erupt)...
Work hard,play hard^^

Reflection On Our Work: April
I find that our blog postings lacked of quality but instead posted quantity work. I know that many of our work are simply just copy-and-paste. We lacked of time because we do not manage our time well due to poor scheduling.
I think we should improve our presentation even more to acheive standard rubrics to gain marks for our July test.
I know that Wan Qi is trying her best to put in effort but I think she is not doing enough. I hope that she will contribute more to our team and make our presentation a successful one. If she wants to stay in our group, I need her to make the effort in doing her role as what we tasked her is simple. We did not give her a hard time and Joyce acts as a coach to give her the understanding. I thanked Joyce for the effort in doing so.
As for Rebecca and Mei Peng, they did their roles well and I thanked them very much so for their blogs' posts and comments made to our recent posts. They spoke what was on their mind and explained clearly what amendments we shoud make.
Leonda is a very good leader, she will always ask us if we were able to handle our roles well. I do not have any qualms about her leadership.
There were parts where we have conflicts though, but through good communication, we were able to solve it.
It has been a hardworking April month for us, but I am glad that through our effort, we are able to just pass.
I hope that we are able to do our presentation on 'PERSPECTIVE OF ELIZABETH CHOY' well with no more complaints and arguments. This is important for me and the whole team to be able to pass English and History.
To my group members: ' PLAY HARD, WORK SMART AND GOD BLESS!'

Many thanks...
Dear fellow members,
thanks for all your contributions whether short or long. We have been rushing for time due to our lack of time management. We have one or two students who did not contribute much. I really do not think we have set the standard even there are so many reminders. It is okay though, we worked together and pushed forward as much as we can. I seriously hope that we can learn a valuable lesson from Miss Lim that management is very important and that last minute work tend to have more mistakes or misconceptions. Thanks for your cooperation and I wish that more work can be done more as a team in the near future.

Attention to group member!

This picture is taken on 1933.
People said"The worst of times can bring out the best in man".One of the example is the Elizabeth Choy,the great girlguide who leaves a story behind in the Double Tenth Massacre of 10 October 1943.
On 27 September, seven Japanese ships were sunk in Keppel Harbour. Despite a thorough search of the surrounding waters, the Japanese failed to track down the saboteurs. The attack, dubbed Operation Jaywick, had in fact been the work of Force Z, a team of 14 Australian and British commandos. While Force Z celebrated its successful attack, Singapore was made to pay for the devastation to the Japanese ships.
Detainees of the Changi Prison internment camp as well as some members of the public were punished. On the morning of 10 October, the victims were assembled for a roll-call. Followed-by was a search for radio sets hidden in the prison. Some of them had smuggled in radio parts and assembled their own sets. That these radios could only receive and not transmit information outside the prison, or that no one had even heard of Force Z were related to the Japanese. Someone had to pay for the betrayal and secret police tortured the victims with unabashed vengeance.
It was during one of these interrogations that the policemen found out that some radio parts had come from a hospital canteen operator,Elizabeth Choy's husband,Choy Khun Heng.He was arrested first on 29 October at his Tan Tock Seng canteen. Days later, Elizabeth Choy was lured to the YMCA in Orchard Road on the promise of seeing her husband. She was to spend the next 193 days and nights there in a cell no bigger than three by four metres with only a narrow air-vent on one wall and no windows. This she shared with twenty other people, a mix of civil servants, doctors and businessmen.
The interrogations were frequent at first and could take place any time of the day or night. The kempeitai liked to alternate between being civil and being beastly in demanding for names of collaborators. She was slapped, kicked and spat at, but it was the electric shock that was to leave her with a life-long fear for electricity. "During the torture, it was impossible to show defiance and be brave; it was impossible to suppress the screams, or to stop the tears and mucus from streaming down her face." But she refused to confess. To Elizabeth Choy, "she could not confess to something she knew was untrue. It would implicate others. It was not right and she could not do it. Not even if it meant more physical abuse at the hands of her jailors." No matter how severe the torture, she always managed to walk back to her cell with as much resolution as she could muster. Typically, she was far more concerned about the welfare of her cell-mates than her own suffering. Her compassion and selflessness, as well as the fact that she remained undefeated to the end won her the admiration of her fellow detainees. In recognition of her valour during the Japanese Occupation, Elizabeth Choy was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1946.
There are many lessons that we can draw from the Elizabeth Choy story. One of them is that her psychological resilience and principled stand helped her in enduring her treatment and interrogation at the hands of her Japanese captors. In trying times, showing care and concern for our fellow man is a show of humanity that binds and unifies. From this unity comes strength to overcome the odds.

Reflection,,
I'm really s0rry that I did not participate much.
But the problem isn't I don't want to help,the fact is all of your have planned everything,
Still,I feel really bad about not helping much.
I had tried to post some informations,hope they could somehow useful.
=))thanks for reading.
Planning on next video lesson~
Next video lesson,we will try to complete as much work as possible.We will try to voice over our shaky clips and put in the music and transitions.I know it's a lot of work but we will have to speed up a bit.We will go to the suggested website to look for audio which I think Joyce and Wan Qi should be able to handle.We will try to redo our storyboard for Miss Cassandra and we would discuss on deleting some clips.We will ask for help on our next lesson how we should make our video more interesting because I think it is rather boring.Who don't know how to read?I know how to read and that is what makes the whole video a lullaby.We would think of a few ways to make amendments to the videos and we better be quick because I think the videography course is ending soon.Please consider my suggestions.

Reflection.
I am happy to see things changes this few days.Although our blog is messy but i can see our group members effort.But something makes me very curious is that i keep telling and nagging on those who didn't done their work,they just ignore or they will just say"ok,ok,I know already"I really feel disgrace to have this kind of members in our group.Truth is,i won't ever accept to have this kind of members again.I really wish our group members will not fail all because we got some very irresponsible members which they keep finding excuse to do things.It is very easy to see who didn't do any work.I really hope that they can change this habit as people won't work with them anymore. I believe we can work hard and play hard.
ATTENTION.
Please,everyone,check YOU SPELLING before posting.I have already inform all of you to check your spelling,but looks like no one listen to me when i'm talking.i say one more time,CHECK YOUR SPELLING BEFORE POSTING.I wan t all of you to change the typo error.By tomorrow i must SEE CHANGES.
Reflection on our work thus far...
After viewing through our blog, I find that it is indeed not up to the standard/criteria that our teachers set for us. I find that our blog entries are not frequent in the beginning of the month. Our blogs are also very messy. We are also doing last minute work as we are not proactive when we are given lots of time. We also have conflicts between one another. I hope that our blog will be organised neatly. We are really running short of time. It is indeed a fact that I do not want to fail two main important subjects which is english and history. I will put in effort in all I do. I hope that all group members will do the same. It is not the time to idle away and do nothing. It is very crucial and hard if we do not work together as a team. I hope you all will be able to view this entry as a motivation to work even smarter and harder. Please put in all your effort. We do not wish to receive two red marks indicating we fail for our english and history. Let us work together! We can do it!
A suggestion..
Dear group,
this is only a suggestions please comment me of what you think.
I think that our blog is very messy, to solve this problem I think it will be better to label your work in a category.
E.g: Reflections, Researchers, videos and so on.
Thanks for your kindess attention!

About background music~
Please get someone to go to www.sounddogs.com to look for background music.Perhaps Wan Qi may be able to do it.Or Joyce can be in charged with the music while we are doing the bigger things.Downloading music is easy but it is hard when it comes to what music we want and if it matches the clip.Be sure to choose those which are free and related,okay?
Reflection on the process of our work.
This project is mainly about war heros. I think our group has lost the time track and lacked organisation. To slove this problem I think we have to maybe stay back at school to complete what have we started. I also think that we can post a sheldue on the blog to keep track of the time. So far the group has gone a long way and hope to see more improvement.
Reflection~
Erm...We had lots of fun during the photo-taking and video-taking session at Fort Siloso.Although none of the things there were related to our task,we still worked on to get pctures.I don't think that place was related at all to our task.Not all of us took part in narrating the srcipt and the narrator was not constant.We kept changing,from Hafizah to me,to Leonda and then to Dion.I don't like this arrangement because we are suppose to follow our storyboard but none of us did.I hate it when they do things their own way and not telling me in the first place.This is not what I like and not all of us cooperate.People like Joyce and Celine,they didn't do anything but we chose to let this matter off and forget about it.Take it as they will be doing some little tasks later on and that's why we do the bigger stuff.But,I just cannot take this anymore.I just want them to cooperate,talk less and listen more.I don't want them to get a 0 for their exams.I think to score,we should do some planning such as mindmapping,changing our storyboard and post it onto our blog.That is what a good group should do.><
Reflection
About this blog, I find that it is not creative and the sequence of post is in chaos. Most of the member did not participate actively in posting and most of the post are in last minute work. To be honest, at the fort siloso Joyce and celine did not to anything at all but i hope they can put in effort in this blog. They should tell us if they want to do at least something that can contribute to the group.
Fact And Quotes
SCWO Wall of Fame - Elizabeth Choy
Mrs. Elizabeth Choy was the first and only women to be nominated to the Legislative Council. In 2005, she was honored by SCWO as one of the outstanding individuals who have made ground breaking contributions to the status and condition of women in Singapore. Immortalised on the SCWO Wall of Fame, her achievements and countless contributions will inspire and encourage the generation of today to understand that the future is ours to shape. The feudal social setting prevailing in the fifties was loaded against women. The status of women in the family and society were inferior to men, polygamy was common, very few were given education, jobs were not easily available and pay was never equal for both genders for the same job. Elizabeth Choy’s was instrumental in the move for women’s emancipation in Singapore.
People said...
“Elizabeth is a role model who worked towards a better future for women and society. Her determination to overcome barriers and her courage to fight for what she believed in is inspirational. We will remember her as a woman who cleared the path for us and opened up many possibilities that we enjoy today. She has always been very supportive of SCWO and attended many of our events. Just last year, we were most happy to be graced by her presence when we launched our Wall of Fame, of which she was one of the honorees. I remember her always as a gracious lady and always tireless in her efforts to help” said Mrs Wee Wan Joo, President of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations.
“She was a lovely woman in every sense of the word. It is sad to lose her,” added Mrs Tisa Ng, Immediate Past President, SCWO.

“Elizabeth is a role model who worked towards a better future for women and society. Her determination to overcome barriers and her courage to fight for what she believed in is inspirational. We will remember her as a woman who cleared the path for us and opened up many possibilities that we enjoy today. She has always been very supportive of SCWO and attended many of our events. Just last year, we were most happy to be graced by her presence when we launched our Wall of Fame, of which she was one of the honorees. I remember her always as a gracious lady and always tireless in her efforts to help” said Mrs Wee Wan Joo, President of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations.
“She was a lovely woman in every sense of the word. It is sad to lose her,” added Mrs Tisa Ng, Immediate Past President, SCWO.

The process at Fort Siloso~
We took some photos and videos.We chose to take scenes at quiet places so it will not affect our filming.No interviews were involved so we need not do anything about interviewing issues.We followed the guide which took us on a tour around that place and we took videos and pictures corcerning our task on Elizabeth Choy.Although none of the pictures and items there matched our task,we still took pictures that somehow seemed related to the subject we are working on.We also went around Fort Siloso to choose our backgrounds so as to suit our video.We did not want unwanted interruption from others as it would disturb our process.We chose to work at places that with the least people and although the scenes are quite shaky,we had ideas to make it look as if it is a good clip.

“The worst of times can bring the best in man…”
Step-by-step solution for editing the video.
1) Put the video of Elizabeth photo in the first page/slide/segment.
2) Showing the narrator behind scenery (seaside) will be the next part.
3) Scene 2 will be a close up of the narrator.
4) Before going to the next slide to an effect of fading/ripple/rain drop etc.
5) Talk about punishment in the cell/jail held captive by the Japanese.
6) Could use picture of people being tortured or photo of the “sook ching” event.
7) A seen of letting Elizabeth free.
8) Followed by a picture of a sunrise.
9) The narrator will read out, why Elizabeth husband was not set free.
10) Lastly showing the picture of her photo when she is old.

By Joyce Fang. The Straits Times, 14 Sep 2006.
SINGAPORE'S war heroine Elizabeth Choy died at about 2pm on Thursday, weeks after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.96-year-old Mrs Choy found out about her cancer when she went to the doctor a few weeks ago as she could not eat.
Mrs Choy was jailed and tortured by Japanese soldiers for helping British prisoners of war (POWs) during the Japanese Occupation.
She was starved and subjected to electric shocks and other forms of torture for passing food, medicine and messages to British POWs.
In the 1950s, Mrs Choy also made history by becoming Singapore's first woman legislator.
She later left politics to head the Singapore School for the Blind.
The principal of the School, Mr Koh Poh Kwang said he was shocked by the news of her death.
He said, "I know Mrs Elizabeth Choy as a very caring person she was still around. She was indeed a very wonderful and caring lady."
Her wake is held at St Andrew's Cathedral and her body will be cremated on Saturday.
About the circumstances surrounding her arrest and detention:
'During WWII, seven Japanese ships were sunk in Keppel Harbour on 27 September, 1943 - Operation Jaywick had been successful and the Japanese failed to track down the saboteurs, Force Z, a team of 14 Australian and British commandos.In retaliation, detainees of the Changi Prison internment camp and some hapless members of the public were singled out for punishment. The kempeitai (secret police) tortured and threatened the internees and during these sessions, found out that some radio parts had come from a hospital canteen operator, Choy Khun Heng, Elizabeth Choy's husband.
Choy Khun Heng was arrested on 29 October at his Tan Tock Seng canteen. Days later, Elizabeth Choy was lured to the YMCA in Orchard Road on the promise of seeing her husband. She would spent 193 days and nights in a 3m x 4m cell with only a narrow air-vent on one wall, no windows and crammed with twenty others, mostly local and some foreigners, a mix of civil servants, doctors and businessmen.
The interrogations were initially frequent, taking place any time of the day or night, alternating between civil and beastly behaviour and demanding for names of collaborators. Elizabeth Choy was slapped, kicked and spat at and subjected to electric shocks leaving her with a life-long fear of electricity.
"During the torture, it was impossible to show defiance and be brave; it was impossible to suppress the screams, or to stop the tears and mucus from streaming down her face." Elizabeth Choy "... could not confess to something she knew was untrue. It would implicate others. It was not right and she could not do it. Not even if it meant more physical abuse at the hands of her jailors."
Despite the severe torture, she always walked back to her cell with as much resolution as she could muster. She was far more concerned about the welfare of her cell-mates than her own suffering. Her compassion and selflessness, as well as the fact that she remained undefeated to the end won her the admiration of her fellow detainees. In recognition of her valour during the Japanese Occupation, Elizabeth Choy was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1946.''

Elizabeth Choy Su-Mei nee Elizabeth Yong a.k.a. Yong Su Mei http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/news/2006/10/10/db1002.xml
Elizabeth Choy died on September 14,she was 95 years old then.She had risked her life supplying medicine,messages and money to British Civilians interned in Singapore's Changi Jail during the outbreak of the second Word War.
She and her husband Choy Khun Heng ,who were running a canteen,incurred further risks by sending inradio parts for hidden receivers on a daily ambulace run until the Japanese instituted a crackdown after a British-Australian raid sank seven Japanese ships outside the habour in September 1943.
The kempentai -Japanese military police,suspected that the raiders had acted on information was sent out from Changi by a transmitter ,hence they seized 57 internees on October 10, known as ''The massacre of the Double Tenth''. Fifteen subsequently died from torture and maltreatment ,but no transmitter was ever found.
Elizabeth Choy's husband was arrested first and she was lured to the YMCA in the hope of seeing her husband.She found herself placed with 20 men cramped,bug-infested cage that used to be a single commode ,which used to be for drinking.
She was slapped,kicked,spat at and subjected to electric shock treatments leaving her reluctant to touch any light switch ever again as she refused to confess.
Unable to suppresss her screams or stop the tears rolling down her face, she still insisted that she was merely helping those in need and always walked back to her cell . Eventually her courage and reputation for altruism impressed the though the kempetai who released her after 193 days though her husband,who was sentenced to 12years of jail, did not come out until the japanese surrendered.

Our presentation
Most of the slides will reveal the narrator's face and some will include voice over effects.Those clips that are quite shaky,I suggest voice over so that no one will notice we have shaky scenes.Some slides will include Elizabeth's Choy photos,both old and young.We do not have that much pictures of her so most of our clips will be rather revealing.We will have an introduction of her life at the start and we tried to put in interesting transitions but they take up lots of our time.The video can only be about 5 minutes and we are having trouble with the time limitation.The suggestions of transitions was from Miss Joyce Lee and she said we could still improve.Thanks to her,we can finish up a little bit of our video.We will put in some very heroic music from www.sounddogs.com to add in war effects.We followed everything on our scripts and chose our own natural backgrounds but we considered cropping some of our videos.

Script(Modified)
Narrated by: Dion,Rebecca,Hafizah
We are discussing the perspective of Singapore's own heroine: Elizabeth Choy. Elizabeth was born in Kudat in British North Borneo. Her great-grand parents had been assisting German missionaries in Hong Kong and their work brought them to North Borneo. There the Yong family set up a coconut plantation.
Her father had been the eldest in the family of two children. After completing his early education in China with some English education in North Borneo, he gained employment as a civil servant. He was transfered to Jesselton and later promoted to District Officer and moved to Kalimantan.
Elizabeth then was looked after by a Kadazan nanny and acquired Kadazan as her first language.
In her later life, she worked as a canteen operator with her husband at mental hospital reknowned as the Miyako Hospital. They secretly brought food, medicine, money, messages and even radios to British internees. Unfortunately, they were caught by the Japanese and Elizabeth was arrested on fifteen November 1943 following her husband's arrest on twenty nine October a few weeks earlier.
Believing that their activities were related to the Double Tenth incident, she was interrogated by the Kempeitai but she never admitted to being a British Sympathiser. She was released only after two hundred days of starvation diet and repeated torture. Her husband was released much later.
After the war, she was one of the previlaged few who were invited to Britain to recuperate from the war and was invited to meet Queen Elizabeth. She was a celebrated war heroine and stood out as the only female to have been incarcerated for such an extended period. She was decorated the Girl Guide Bronze Crossly.
The Bronze Cross,the highest award of the Girl Guide movement, is an award for gallantry. She was also conferred the Order Of The British Empire.
lizabeth was a symbol of courage and a true living testimony of the Girl Guide's Promise and law to the final moments of her life, particularly Guide Law number seven being quote' A guide has courage and is cheerful in all difficulties.'
A remarkable and an inspiring role model, a pioneer in Singapore girl guiding, her passing is a great loss to all of us. But let us with thanksgiving, remember Mrs Elizabeth Choy, her life living in commitment to the Promise and law, shall be a legacy to us all.

The narration(backgound fort siloso)
Elizabeth was born in Kudat in British North Borneo (today Sabah). Her great-grandparents had been assisting German missionaries in Hongkong and their work had brought them to North Borneo.
There, the Yong family set up a coconut plantation. Her father had been the eldest in a family of 11 children and after completing his early education in China with some English education in North Borneo, he gained employment as a civil servant.
He was transferred to Jesselton and later promoted to District Officer and moved on to Borneo's interiors in Kalimantan. Elizabeth was looked after by a Kadazan nanny and acquired Kadazan as her first language.
She worked as a canteen operator with her husband at the Mental Hospital which was renamed Miyako Hospital (the predecessor of Woodbridge Hospital) where patients from General Hospital had been moved to.
They secretly brought food, medicine, money, messages and even radios to British internees. Unfortunately, they were caught by the Japanese and Elizabeth was arrested on 15 November 1943, following her husband's arrest on 29 October a few weeks earlier.
Believing their activities were related to the Double Tenth incident, she was interrogated by the Kempeitai but she never admitted to being a British sympathiser. She was released only after 200 days of starvation diet and repeated torture. Her husband was released much later.
After the war, she was one of the privileged few who were invited to Britain to recuperate from the war and was invited to meet Queen Elizabeth II. She was a celebrated war heroine then and stood out as the only female to have been incarcerated for such an extended period.
She was decorated the Girl Guide Bronze Cross by the World Chief Guide, Lady Baden-Powell, in 1946. The Bronze Cross, the highest award of the Girl Guide Movement, is an award for gallantry. She was also conferred the Order of the British Empire.
Elizabeth Choy was a symbol of courage and truly a living testimony of the Guide Promise and Law to the final moments of her life, particularly, Guide Law #7-- “A Guide has courage and is cheerful in all difficulties”.
A remarkable, inspiring role model and a pioneer in Singapore Girl Guiding, her passing is a great loss to all of us. But let us, with thanksgiving, remember Mrs Elizabeth Choy; her life, living in commitment to the Promise and Law, shall be a legacy to us all. (rebecca will do the girl guide sign)
There, the Yong family set up a coconut plantation. Her father had been the eldest in a family of 11 children and after completing his early education in China with some English education in North Borneo, he gained employment as a civil servant.
He was transferred to Jesselton and later promoted to District Officer and moved on to Borneo's interiors in Kalimantan. Elizabeth was looked after by a Kadazan nanny and acquired Kadazan as her first language.
She worked as a canteen operator with her husband at the Mental Hospital which was renamed Miyako Hospital (the predecessor of Woodbridge Hospital) where patients from General Hospital had been moved to.
They secretly brought food, medicine, money, messages and even radios to British internees. Unfortunately, they were caught by the Japanese and Elizabeth was arrested on 15 November 1943, following her husband's arrest on 29 October a few weeks earlier.
