Feng Shui of Marina Bay Intergrated Resort

















It's a bad job done. It's definitely not authentic Feng Shui but I read in the Chinese newspapers that the geomancer was paid a hefty sum of money for his service. Please zoom in the picture to read the article and also the pointers I have added to the pictures. The three towers were said to be the mountains providing a strong support and the three main event centers to represent three Chinese coins (what?!). The structure on the left of the picture which is supposed to be in the shape of a lotus flower was designed so as to appease the 妈姐 Ma Jies (who have broken their vows and punished by death) who died along this coastline, based on the Buddhist values attributed to the lotus flower. (Yah right...).

Can't believe big corporations are willing to pay that kind of $$$ for questionable Feng Shui theories...I have never heard of the guy before and thus do not know of his credibility. His name is 张传力 but intensive search on the Net found no information about him at all. The newspaper said that he was a Feng Shui consultant for some international corporations especially in Europe.

I have read a interview with Master Tan Khoon Yong about his comments on the IR and he said that it is a beneficial design and further elaborated the feng shui analysis in the same line as the one given by 张传力 above. Hmmm, maybe I am not skilled enough to understand their analysis and interpretation. But I do notice that there is a excessive focus on the symbolic meaning in their interpretation. Yes, we do use symbols in Feng Shui but the key aspect is still the manipulation of Qi, otherwise it would have been a form of psychological studies.

濱海灣金沙贏得發展權
風水格局成焦點

(新加坡28日訊)拉斯維加斯金沙集團的濱海灣金沙脫穎而出,贏得新加坡首個綜合度假勝地發展權后,濱海灣金沙的風水格局,很自然的成為眾人焦點。

新加坡風水師對這一發展項目的風水佈陣有何看法?

濱海灣金沙和澳門的金沙娛樂場,甚至和設在美國拉斯維加斯的總部又有何不同?

這些都是引人入勝的有趣話題。

新加坡著名風水師陳軍榮今早受訪時說,濱海灣金沙的基本佈局是“七星伴月”。

他說,3棟高的酒店建築和4棟矮的主要建築形成七星,屬于陽性建築,外貌似蓮花的戶外表演場所是唯一的陰性建築,也就是“七星”所伴的“月”。

3棟酒店建築象征著福、祿、壽,代表著新加坡3代領導人的傑出貢獻,而4棟矮的主要建築是“四大護法”,起著保護福、祿、壽的作用。

象徵福祿壽

陳師傅說,這4棟建築將是賭場,主要娛樂消閒設施所在處,因此是比較會賺錢的部份,支撐著整個綜合度假勝地的運作。

至于那蓮花型建築,配上噴泉和燈光效果,將讓綜合度假勝地所處的水域增添各種水上活動,帶動了原本被封住的河口,使死水變活水。

陳師傅認為美中不足之處,是3棟酒店建築上面的空中花園,在形成平台后限制了其發展,以致難有突破。他認為3棟建築應有高低。

隱藏蝠從天降
風水師:福蔭新加坡

蝠從天降的格局!

另1位風水師魏錦文認為,濱海灣金沙隱藏“蝠從天降”的風水格局,正好與新加坡本身的“金鷹撲石”形成“蝠鷹”陣勢,可說是福蔭新加坡”。

他說,從上面看,濱海灣金沙的4棟主要矮建築像蝙蝠,取蝠(福)從天降的風水格局,而蝙蝠喜歡在夜間活動,因此會帶旺各種夜間活動,包括賭場,夜總會,夜間表演等。

至于蓮花形狀的露天劇場,剛好在白虎的位置上,那是管錢財位置,因此能大吉大利。

魏師傅說,靠水邊的升降台則將吸百川之氣,起著帶旺整個綜合度假勝地的作用。

那3棟酒店則起著“三足鼎立的作用”,將和雲頂及澳門的賭場抗衡。
