The elephant statue in front of the Old Parliament House, Singapore (now known as the Arts House at the Old Parliament) was a gift from King Rama V of Siam, better known as Chulalongkorn, to commemorate his visit to Singapore on 16 March 1871. The statue sits on a pedestal with plaques in four languages. The English plaque reads:
The statue was originally located in front of the Victoria Memorial Hall, but relocated to its present venue in 1919 to make place for the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles.[1]
