The iconic Four-Faced Buddha statue in front of Golden Mile Complex has found a new home.

It will be removed from its current location on Apr. 19 at 1pm and moved into a temple in May.

Mothership previously reported that Golden Mile Complex, often referred to as "Little Thailand", will cease to exist by May 2023 following a collective sale.

News of the en bloc sale caused devotees to be worried about the statue's fate.

The statue had been placed outside the building for more than 20 years after being left behind by a department store that had closed down.

Thai Supermarket owner Loh Yuen Seng said he sought help from a Buddhist priest to move the statue outdoors.

He also set up an offering box for devotees to pay respects to the Buddha, and all the proceeds have been donated to charity over the years.
