Officials in Singapore have changed the direction of the world’s biggest observation wheel because feng shui masters said it was taking good fortune away from the city.
“The Flyer was going against the sun and taking fortune away from Singapore.”

So now we’re supposed to blame the economic slow down in Singapore on the Flyer turning the wrong way? And praise the government for having the foresight to consult Feng Shui masters to solve the problem? Uniquely Singapore! I now believe that pigs can fly.
pigs do fly
I remember clearly many many moons ago, not sure during tiger years or dragon years (but must b xurely either one) senior lee wondering why businessmen were basing their decisions on this and that tiger or that dragon influences. He said in fact businesses succeeded based on sound relevant decisions that situations warranted.
To add, so Singapore Inc today is because of Feng Shui is it or not? Then what is $$$million take home pay is for??
Or are we going to have a criteria as part of FT qualification’s FengShui knowledge and application is a must??
I wonder what they would have done if the feng shui master said the S’pore Flyer should be re-sited. Or torn down. Would they have done it?
I thought just about 2 weeks ago, the Straits Times was trumpeting how successful the Flyer was – with a headline which said 2 Million Visitors or something like that? What happened?
Anyway, now that the direction has been changed, lets see if the feng shui master is right. The Flyer should be having overwhelming visitors now and S’pore’s economic progress will shoot through the roof.
Right?
Well, if anything goes wrong its not their fault. If everything goes right, it’s their credit – this is how they reward themselves with hefty pay-rises (in any case their pay rise has got nothing to do with right or wrong job)!!!
Just like I recall, when Sgp does well – everywhere one can see we have good people, we take tough decisions blah blah bla.. When things going to turn sour, or turned sour – they blame the world, they blame external environment, they blamed US subprime, they blamed 911, they blamed sars – ENDLESS…
What’s next…PINK uniform for staff?
“The Flyer was going against the sun and taking fortune away from Singapore.”
NOW….we’re taking in Indo’s haze
Some say the half-lion half-fish Ah Kua lion also spitting the wrong way. Real sad, having an artificial national symbol like this.
the fengshui master become our new PM lah…
I don’t care what they do… just use their own money.
Meli-go-lound, when things are well, it is to their credit, when things are not, I recall they once said it could have been worse if it wasn’t for them!!! Head they win, tail we lose!
change direction for observation wheel is not enough. I consulted my fengshui master. He say it must be re-sited. The best place is on the head of our money face leaders so that can start to take some load or responsibility for all the crap decision they made.
Do you all know that our golden one dollar coin is shaped like a Ba-qua to go through the hands of millions of our citizens for Feng Shui purposes too?
