He is the first Indian in Malaya to receive a knighthood and was once threatened with execution by the Japanese. Throughout the Japanese occupation in Singapore during WW2, Sir Husein was under suspicion for his pro-allied sympathies. The Kempeitai eventually arrested him and soon announced that he was to be beheaded. They blindfolded him, made him kneel, then brought out a sword. Sir Husein made one request: he asked to see his family again. But the Japanese did not execute him, they spared him to see liberation, and to receive a knighthood.<ref>The Strait Times, 7 January 1948, Page 4</ref>
He was awarded the [[George V of the United Kingdom|George V]] Silver Jubilee Medal, 1935, and the [[George VI]] Coronation Medal, 1937.
