This bust of a bearded Chinese man is mounted on a column of local granite and was at one time placed in a garden facing Stamford Road. On the granite is an inscription in English and Chinese: “Given to Singapore in 1939, by the artist W.G. Stirling, as a tribute to the people who have done so much by their great patience, endurance and fortitude to bring the Straits Settlements and Malaya to their present state of prosperity”.
