Description
English: Bust of a Chinese Gentleman, William George Stirling, National Museum of Singapore.

This bust of an anonymous elderly Chinese gentleman depicts Stirling's conception of a typical prosperous and honest colonial-era Chinese merchant. The pedestal, made from local granite, features Chinese and English inscriptions paying tribute to those who had contributed to the prosperity of Singapore and the Straits Settlements. Stirling was the Assistant Protector of the Chinese in Singapore from 1921 to 1931. He researched extensively on Chinese secret societies and amassed a sizable collection of secret society items, mostly seized during raids. A selection from his collection is exhibited in the room located to the right.
