2. Steel Artwork (Procession)

Armenian Street, George Town. It is on
the wall to your left, after the big "Old Man"
mural by Ernest Zacharevic.
The sculpture depicts the Grand Float
Procession held in 1926 to celebrate the
birthday of Tua Pek Kong. As it was the
Year of the Tiger, effigies of the tiger was
carried through the streets
Observing the procession is a British
tourist who remembers the last tiger shot
in 1930

of killing the tiger without
