★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Las estatuas representan las rutinas diarias de los comerciantes y trabajadores que realizaban negocios a lo largo del Rio en el Siglo XIX. Las estatuas son de bronce. Estas estatuas se encuentran en el lugar del antiguo almacén de Alexander Laurie, que ahora es la Torre de Maybank de 32 pisos.
Estos conjuntos de figuras representan al comerciante Alexandre Laurie Johnston que conversa con un jefe Malayo y un comerciante Chino y coolies cargando sacos en el carro de bueyes.
 The statues represent the daily routines of merchants and workers who did business along the River in the 19th century. The statues are bronze. These statues are located at the site of the former Alexander Laurie warehouse, which is now the 32-story Maybank Tower.
These sets of figures represent the merchant Alexandre Laurie Johnston who talks with a Malay boss and a Chinese merchant and coolies carrying sacks in the ox cart.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The man sitting in the middle was a Scottish businessman Alexander Laurie Johnston who was based around here in early 19th century. He is apparently discussing business with the local Malay chief and Chinese trader.
Singapore being always the busy trading port, this was a common method to bring goods inland via river till the bull carts were replaced with modern lorries.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I saw this in early March before the lockdown. It's one of many sculptures in Boat Quay and depicts a scene during a typical day in the port with merchants conducting business and labourers shifting goods on a bullock cart. The great thing about this sculpture is the way the artists has created such a lively scene of the merchants engaged in discussions contrasting with adjacent the work of the labourers. Worth seeing if in the area.
