The late Inspector (Retired) Chew Kim Chuan was born in Rawang on 20th September 1928. He had served as a Contract Inspector on 2nd January 1952 and terminated his services on 2nd January 1966 and later pursued his business venture. During his fourteen years of service to our country, he had held the post of a Police Constable, Peace Officer and Inspector. Chew Kim Chuan earned his respect as a "dedicated, vigorous and reliable officer" (quotes from Certificate of Service dated 13th January 1966, issued by the Head of department, Pesurohjaya Polis, Government of the Federation of Malaya.)

On the 28th June 1956, W.L.R.Carbonell, Commissioner of Police, Federation of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur wrote a letter informing Mr.Chew Kim Chuan, the following content......that "Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to approve the immediate award of the George Medal for gallantry to you for the part played in the successful operation against Communist Terrorists in the Ulu Langat Forest Reserve on the 10th December, 1956.
