In May 2008, on the occasion of the 118th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh and the 35th anniversary of Vietnam-Singapore diplomatic relations, Singapore’s National Heritage Board inaugurated a memorial plaque dedicated to the late Vietnamese leader on the grounds of the museum.
Later, friends of Vietnam at the board, the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore and the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi came up with the idea of placing a statue of President Ho Chi Minh next to the memorial plaque. Installed in September 2011, the statue, together with those of other Asian leaders and eminent figures, is prominently displayed in the museum’s campus, highlighting the historical connections among Asian cultures and between Asia and the wider world.
