Within the spacious museum grounds, the statue of President Ho Chi Minh is prominently displayed alongside those of other Asian leaders and distinguished figures. In May 2008, on the occasion of the late Vietnamese President’s 118th birth anniversary and the 35th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations, Singapore’s National Heritage Board inaugurated a memorial plaque dedicated to him within the the Asian Civilisations Museum. In September 2011, the statue of President Ho Chi Minh next to the memorial plaque was officially inaugurated./.
