But he was soon to answer a higher calling.<\/p>\n<p>On March 6, 1940, \u00a0Chew went to China from Singapore to Yangon and China, to \u00a0visit and give moral support to the Nanyang\u00a0 volunteer mechanics and drivers, as well as civilians and troops.\u00a0 The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinatownology.com\/Nanyang_Volunteers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nanyang\u00a0 Volunteers <\/a>were \u00a0recruited and trained \u00a0from \u00a0South East Asia, \u00a0to transport war and logistic supplies through the notorious China-Burma highway to sustain\u00a0 China\u2019s war effort against the invading Japanese. Chew represented Batu Pahat as \u00a0part of a deputation comprising of representatives from the overseas Chinese communities of South East Asia.<br \/>\nBut on March 29 1940, the vehicle he was in overturned and he sustained serious injury to his spinal cord. \u00a0He was warded at a hospital at Xiaguan (Yunnan)\u00a0 while the rest of the deputation proceeded to their destinations. \u00a0He was visited by none other than <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tan_Kah_Kee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tan Kah Kee<\/a>, \u00a0who was instrumental in\u00a0 galvanizing\u00a0 the support of\u00a0 the overseas Chinese in Nanyang (South East Asia) \u00a0for the second <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Second_Sino-Japanese_War\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sino-Japanese War.<\/a>\u00a0 Tan made arrangements to have Chew sent to Yangon for treatment as the doctors in Xiaguan were unable to heal him. Chew\u2019s legs were numb and he could not walk for more than a year.\u00a0 Chew also received a letter of consolation\u00a0 from the\u00a0 Commander-in-Chief of the war and leader of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kuomintang\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kuomintang <\/a>, Generalissimo <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chiang_Kai-shek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiang Kai Shek<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On March \u00a04<sup>th<\/sup> of 1941, a year after his accident,\u00a0 an arrangement was made for him be transported to Singapore for treatment. Just when many thought Chew would recover, he died in Singapore on June 13, 1941\u00a0 at 0615 hours. It was said that his funeral in Singapore \u00a0was attended by more than 400 people.

Only Chew&#8217;s mother and wife were weeping. Somebody observed to Tan, \u00a0that the deputation would be away for only 3 months and it was an honour to be a delegate, so even though one could excuse Chew&#8217;s mother as she was of an older generation, his wife who was educated and a teacher was showing too much emotion. After seeing Chew in hospital six months after his accident, when he could not be cured by the doctors there, Tan Kah Kee remarked that it seemed the mother and wife had been prescient of what was to come at the point of parting.<br \/>\n<br data-reactid=\".2.1:3:1:$comment594810670589151_595219677214917:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.0:3.0.3.0.$end:0:$13:0\" \/> Chew\u00a0 was born on 11\/11\/11 in the Hokkien Province, Tong An County, Au To village.
