- What do the Suntec City Fountain of Wealth, Marina Bay Sands, and the one dollar coin have in common? They all (allegedly) help the feng shui in Singapore.

In Jurong East, there was a shopping mall named “Big Box” which was only around for a few years because it wasn’t doing well. My father told me that it was because the building’s entrance was facing the Eng Teng Fong Hospital which is believed that it would be bad and cause “death” to the business.
and the non superstitious reason is that they followed the malaysian malls style where every shop is directly under the mall, no noticeable brands around to get people to go to the mall
One of the major shareholders of Suntec is Mr Li Ka Shing from HK, who believes in Fengshui.
the voxification of mothership
Much Respect to the educational and impressive teachings!
You guys did a wonderful job~
👍
You know, I remember when the fountain was first built. There wasn't any of these "Fountain of Wealth" name at that point in time, it was all added on much later.
The dollar coin part got me
the gateway and duo tower building story is very similar to the bank of china tower and hsbc building in hong kong.. the bank odf china tower (which also designed by i.m. pei) also features sharp edges so hsbc bulding install maintanance cranes that shaped like canons pointing to the bank of china tower to fight he bad feng shui
I was thinking the same thing! When I heard the architects name here again in the same context I was like nah this man is doing this on purpose :D
I love this sort of content! Learned something new from watching this
No wonder I gained a lot of weight and become round, it's for good fengshui
Vox video quality nice work!🔥👍
I'm intrigued.
Marina Bay Sands is a tri-tower construction, yet Malaysia's Highland Towers complex was also one too. So why is MBS still standing, and Highland Towers fell apart in 1993?
My fengshui master however pointed out that the MBS's base was split into 2 and instead of the conventional one block, thus making the foundation bad (coz its split), so bad fengshui. The boat was hanging on top of the building where there's no water, so there is no point in putting the boat up high as it cannot take off.
May I know your Feng shui master name
Well Done SG !! 👏👏👏
Lol! The Flyer went bust
Even in this modern Singapore, there are people who still believe in Feng Shui?
Yeah, its a practice of manipulating atmosphere to boost productivity/relaxation/caution etc. For example you want lights with a slight warm tint in the living room and bedrooms but colder white lights in the kitchen and toilet. Or why you feel slightly uncomfortable with a low shelf above your head. Or why it would feel suffocating to have a chandelier above your dining table with a ceiling 3m high.
Plenty.
Amazing stuff!! Great work
Guoco midtown is built next to The Gateway
was expecting the infamous feng shui master to show up but heng.
If you actually went down to the Gateway building/Duo before making this video you would have realised the plot of empty land beside the Gateway actually has buildings being constructed right now...
Lee Kuan Yew said Feng Shui is rubbish
Singapore design good job 👍👍❤️
I agree with LKY
The big bird statue outside UOB plaza at the Singapore river (water). Notice where it’s butt direction is facing though;)
More on Feng shui pls , and also half of these info can be found on Google...
Really is full of bs. If you read the financials of Suntec REIT (which owns Suntec City) and Straco (which operates the flyer), you will see that their performance isn’t fantastic (especially for flyer). Fengshui is just playing in the psychology of people who don’t want to leave anything to chance, even if the solution is unscientific or borderline ridiculous. At best, it gives you confidence or ease of mind which may indirectly help you become prosperous. At worst, you are just giving money to snake oil salesman.
Real vox vibes, cool :D
Fengshui apart, both the Gateway and Suntec City are designed by I.M.Pei, one of the greatest architects of all time.
He also designed The Louvre Pyramid.
Ba Gua Jing for UOB building
Counter bad feng shui caused by twin towers with 1 tall 1 short also
Lee Kuan Yew says Feng Shui is utter Rubbish !
Unfortunately, Singapore does not have the space to accomodate everyone's feng shui needs and so only the nation as a whole as well as big corporations, developers can afford to design their buildings etc with fengshui in mind, while the average person suffers from likely poorly designed HDBs (with regards to feng shui)
It's ok, people spend more time at their office than at home anyway
when im in a superstitious competition and my opponent is chinese
isn't this 100% vox's video design?
Uob building, previously oub buildings like a chopper, Suntec
Looks like iron man’s hand
I know a few types of people:
Fengshui believer A - died at a young age of 50+
Non-Fengshui believer B - still alive and healthy at 72
Fengshui believer C - poor, unemployed, rotting away with cigarettes (and ToTo tickets)
Non-Fengshui believer D - stays in a $3m condo, rich white-collar banker
How come there are no proven effects of 'good feng-shui'?
10iq assumption
I'd say it is not about all the fortune-invitation but about the ergonomics behind 风水 that is meant to enhance the lifestyle of the user in the smallest ways to improve their performance. Like how being able to sleep on a comfortable instead of an uncomfortable bed helps you to perform better in life, increasing your chances, but not guaranteeing your success.
cause its a hocus pocus nonsense
Another palm at MBS...😁😁😁😁😁
i dont even have 1 dollar coin
Suntec reit
But MBS look like 3 tombstone

Is it so difficult - for a narrator of obviously local Chinese descent - to pronounce Feng Shui and other words such as Qi in their original Chinese intonation, instead of an anglicized one? So much for an effective bilingual education system here in Singapore.
U should learn to be encouraging instead of being critical.
@@Stellaplayspipa it is worth concern.
They r not rite on LKY, he asked Reverend Hong Chuan from Kong Meng San for geomancy advice and he suggested the $1 coin, Hong Chuan is an expert on fengshui bro, so LKY is the big liar here. As we all know, LKY is a big liar and Cannon Fairy, he is a Peranakan but pretend to be Hakka. His Hakka culture so diluted bro.
I don't think he is a liar. The hexagonal shape on the $1 coin could be by Fengshui, but perhaps he doesn't want to speculate it to say that it is caused by Fengshui and in the end making Singapore herself sound very superstition in the making
@@SamLiewXiaoSam To be he is a big liar bro, after all he is Lubricant KY :)
okay...but does it work? like give evidence that building with supposedly "bad fengshui" design did badly when compared to "good fengshui" design. Singapore is just too heavily influenced by chinese culture
𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐦 🤣
Wot nonesense?!
Feng Shui is just a means for making money.
mothership copying vox style aesthetic.. at least try to change the colour
scam artists
People can believe fengshui all they want but it shouldn’t be allowed/implemented in the city development.
As we're living in a multiracial company, we can't push other people's ideology to other people. It's unfair
ni kan syirik!
Memangpun (for muslims like us), but most Singaporeans are Chinese who don't believe in what we believe and it is obvious most architects there are Chinese.
