Published: 26 Jul 2025
Located near the scenic Sungei Simpang Kiri and surrounded by lush greenery, the award-winning EastGlen @ Canberra is a 99-year leasehold public housing in Sembawang that will reach its 5-year Minimum Occupancy Period (MOP) soon.
Recognised for its quality construction, EastGlen @ Canberra aims to create a similar feeling of being in a valley through its landscaping and design. Could this soon-to-MOP development be your ideal fengshui home? Read on for our in-depth home fengshui review to find out!
Landform Fengshui: EastGlen @ Canberra in District 27
In Singapore, the Five Dragon Landform Fengshui harnesses “hidden dragons”, which are man-made structures that channel energy flows. From the lens of fengshui, roads act as “dragon veins,” skyscrapers as “mountain dragons” offering stability, and waterways serve as wealth-attracting “water dragons.”
The five auspicious dragons, namely Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central, along with the Singapore and Kallang Rivers, converge to drive the city’s growth and prosperity, with each dragon influencing a region’s success.
Fengshui Formation: EastGlen @ Canberra in District 27
Bounded by Canberra Crescent and Canberra Walk, EastGlen @ Canberra is located in the idyllic town of Sembawang in District 27 of Singapore. From a fengshui perspective, it sits near the tail of the Southern Dragon amidst the fengshui land formation of “Thriving Bamboos”.
The dragon’s tail represents stability and gradual growth (rather than explosive success like the dragon’s head). Hence, residents here must be patient and adaptable in order to thrive over time.
Bamboos, being an auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, indicate the potential for growth and progress. This formation promises positive influences for residents in this area. Nevertheless, residents of EastGlen @ Canberra, especially those with elderly and young children, should note that this region is susceptible to strong northeast winds, in particular during the year end monsoon season.
As this may cause you or your loved ones to catch a cold easily, do take extra consideration when designing your living space.
Exterior fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a resale flat.

Recent infrastructure developments in the past few years have revived Canberra, which was once hailed as a ghost town. Today, this progressive town in northern Singapore boasts the Canberra MRT station, Canberra Plaza and several outdoor recreations that induce envy for Canberra residents.
Located within walking distance to Canberra MRT station, residents of EastGlen @ Canberra enjoy the convenience of having both nature and amenities at its fringe. Designed with a valley concept, this resale housing estate (that reaches MOP in 2026) is surrounded by lush landscaping and near the Simpang Kiri river.
In feng shui, valleys are generally viewed as positive landscape features, representing nourishing and easily accumulated qi (energy). While EastGlen @ Canberra is not a natural valley, it is designed to facilitate ventilation, which is definitely a plus in Singapore’s hot and humid climate!
Regarding the sites reserved for future high-rise residential developments surrounding EastGlen @ Canberra, residents should pay attention to avoid or take measures to counter construction noises and conflicting energies (冲煞) during the development period.
Interestingly, there are three sites surrounding this soon-to-MOP development that is reserved for schools! While this would benefit young families, residents can expect greater noises and heavier traffic, especially during peak hours.
It is true that cross-junction roads are potential landform obstructions that could bring Sha. However, there’s no need to worry about the cross junction between Canberra Crescent and Canberra Walk if your home is located on a higher floor. For lower floor units at stack 316 and 318, it is best to implement fengshui measures to deflect conflicting energies. If in doubt, consult a fengshui master for the best way forward.
Last but not least, lower floor units of stacks that are located near or directly facing the multi-storey car park (MSCP) are likely to encounter Sound Sha [声煞] and Light Sha [光煞]. This could cause disturbances to daily life such as insomnia. Hence, lower floor units at stack 302, 322, 328, 330, 332, 334, and 340 should stay mindful.
Internal fengshui considerations
Homeowners should bear in mind the main orientation of your house, as it will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s). The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.
Tip: Did you know a physical Luopan (fengshui compass) is much more sensitive to the Qi, energy of the house than a digital compass? You can use our Free Way Almanac App to know your rough direction of your house. It is still advisable to get a professional fengshui Master to fix your home direction.

Did you know?
Some people think that it is a fengshui taboo if their windows in the living area are bigger than their main entrance. In fact, these home configurations are increasingly common in new estates.
Before you start worrying, here’s the good news: while it is not recommended for homes in countries with four distinct seasons, having bigger windows in our tropical climate means better indoor ventilation, which is favourable!
However, it is best to avoid having the big window facing the main door directly. If they are directly aligned, the ability to accumulate wealth luck will be diminished as energy flows in and out easily.
If the features are fixed, you can remedy the situation by installing a room divider or avoid opening both the window and door at the same time. Displaying some plants at the window or having curtains or blinds can help too.
