Unveiled by Mr Lee Yock Suan, Minister for Labour and Deputy Chairman of Peoplešs association, 1990. From the National Parks website: "Interpretation : a celebration of youth  The sculpture is an abstract expression of the spirit of youth. The five geometric shapes joined together at the heart of the circle symbolise five qualities of youth : creativity, vibrance, idealism, dedication and enthusiasm. The four prongs pointing upwards signify Singaporešs multi-racial youth striving for the common goals of harmony and progress. The stainless steel represents the purity of the youthful spirit and aspiration."
