Lim Hock Beng was a Wireless Operator at Jesselton Post Office during the Japanese occupation of Borneo during 1942 to 1945. He was killed by the Japanese army at Menggatal, Sabah by shooting of "three rounds" each and buried together (with Mohindar Singh) in a trench (possibly) in early July by Sergeant Major Uchiyama Chokichi upon orders directly from Captain Harada. Lim Hock Beng was considered the "chief of the rebellion" and "used the wireless sets to catch intelligence that was against the Japanese army and carried out an agitation to the native residents" and was helped by Mohindar Singh, at Menggatal. Their bodies were identified at the trench.
