This is the Ideal Location for the Istana!

Singapore’s Istana is just like our capital city, affecting the country’s fate…

Singapore is a small city-state without any so-called “capital”, so it’s impossible to speak of moving our capital. However, if we are to consider moving our Istana, then it would be just as important as moving a capital city! After all, the Istana is just like any official leader’s residence and moving it will affect the country’s fate.

Located on Singapore’s “Southern Dragon”, the Istana is deeply influenced by the qi of this“Wealth Dragon”, resulting in an astute and capable government that made Singapore what it is today. However, Singapore’s small size and lack of natural resources means that we must maximize what little land we have to ensure lasting growth. The Istanastands proudly on the head of the “Southern Dragon”; while this has resulted in economic miracles, it has also restricted the effective use of prime land in Singapore. Don’t you think so? If the Istanawere moved, there could be more skyscrapers, commercial buildings, and hotels here tofurther benefit Singapore’s economy.

That said, if moving were a real possibility, the Istana’s new location must be carefully chosen. It must have excellent feng shui in order to maintain Singapore’s standing on the global stage. Where in Singapore could one find a place comparable to the current Istana’s grounds? From a feng shui point of view,the old Bukit Timah Race Course would be perfect!

The old Bukit Timah Race Course sits along the “Central Dragon”. Singapore’s “Central Dragon”is a “Riches Dragon” and is closely related to the“Southern Dragon” (the “Wealth Dragon”), both originating from Malaysia’s Kota Tinggi mountains. Thesedragons of Wealth and Riches encircle Singapore’s three main reservoirs:Seletar Reservoir, Peirce Reservoir and MacRitchie Reservoir.

The “Central Dragon”is a dragon of riches and can consolidate political power. The Bukit Timah Race Course is also located at the dragon’s “reproductive parts”, so this place would benefit the population, government, and economy. What’s more, Bukit Timah is a “cornucopia”: it’s low elevation is like a bowl that can collect riches and boost Singapore’s economy.

Also worth a mention is nearby Bukit Panjang, which has a “general’s land”formation. This would serve to guard the Istana if it moved to Bukit Timah.While abstract, according to Landform feng shuitheories, a “general’s land”will always be guarded by a handsome steed. This horse is none other than Bukit Timah’s7th Mile, creating the “Heavenly Steed Soaring Across the Skies”feng shui formation. With a horse comes a saddle and manger: the “saddle” is located in the private estates here, and residents here in the public service will benefit from such a formation. Next to the “saddle land” is the “manger land” that has the potential to create miracles.

This outstanding feng shui environment and the sprawling grounds of the race course allow high privacy and security; it’s simply a feng shui gem that meets all the requirements of the Istana. If the government ever wants to move the Istana,the old Bukit Timah Race Course should be the first site to consider! For those who are working in or considering entering public service, you might want to pick a private residence here and use the good feng shui to help your career prospects. That said, places with good feng shui will naturally fetch a higher price.If you can’t afford to live here yet, then just walk around the neighbourhood and absorb the excellent qi!
