Early Founders Memorial Stone, Memorial monument at National Archives Building, Singapore
The Early Founders Memorial Stone stands as a granite block on a pyramid-shaped brick base, featuring inscriptions in four languages on its surface.
The foundation stone was placed at Collyer Quay Street in 1970 by President Yusof Ishak to commemorate the contributions of early immigrants to Singapore.
The memorial incorporates inscriptions in English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil, representing the multicultural foundation of Singapore's immigrant society.
Visitors can find the memorial stone near the National Archives of Singapore, where it returned in 2010 after being temporarily relocated in 2000.
Despite initial plans for a grand monument, the design competition received 38 entries but none earned first prize, leading to the current simple stone design.
