During the Japanese Occupation, 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.
Why she was arrested?
She was arrested for helping to bring aid to the british.Not only that ,She was like a ’spy ‘ to them.Unfortunately,when she was exposed,arrested on 15 november 1943,She was tortured severely by the Japanese. The Japanese had also electrocuted her.Not only that,they also made her drank plenty of water till she puked and suffered badly. Her husband’s was 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.This has shown us her heroine act.Even though she has suffered terribly ,Till near death,She has made the effort not to tell the truth.
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.

Elizabeth choy was a hakka ,chinese born on (29 november1910 ) in kudat,sabah in North Borneo.During world war two,of the Japanese occupation,She was inprisoned for 200 days. She died on 14 sepetember 2006.
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. Marrying the daughter of a priest from a well-respected family in North Borneo, 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.
Her education and her name
Elizabeth and her siblings were sent back to Kudat where her paternal grandfather ran the village school, teaching in Chinese. Her higher education was taken at St Monica’s School between 1921 to 1929, an Anglican missionary boarding school in Sandakan. Because the teachers could not pronounce Chinese names, she adopted the English name Elizabeth. In 1925, she and her aunt Jessie became the first girls to sign up in North Borneo’s inaugural Girl Guides Company. By 1927, she was teaching the lower standards even whilst she was studying.
In December 1929, she came to Singapore and studied at the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus at Victoria Street. She excelled greatly, obtaining the Prize of Honor in her first year of school in December 1930. Living with her fourth uncle at Selegie where he ran a music shop, the original T. M. A. at High Street. The untimely death of her mother in 1931 and the Great Depression placed upon her the burden of raising her six younger siblings. Thus she went to study for a college, making attempts to get a scholarship and start work so she could finance the education of her younger siblings.
