Bring a pair of chopsticks to Sentosa to win more money at the casino!
You may think we’re taking you for a ride, but there’s no harm trying, right?
Some people feel that Singapore is shaped like a crab, and crabs dislike the color red because a red crab is a cooked crab! Because of this, imaginative folks have put forth that Singapore’s green movement is a precaution against destroying the crab’s natural habitat. What do you think, dear friends?
The truth is, when examining the feng shui condition of a place, one needs to look at not just the landform in question but its surrounding area as well. Take Singapore and Malaysia: it’s clearly a “Carp Spitting a Pearl” formation, where Singapore is that gleaming pearl.
Singapore is located at the meeting point of the Indian and Pacific oceans, with the currents providing immense energy. The surrounding islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and the Malay Peninsula form natural barriers that make Singapore a “cornucopia” in feng shui terms. Objectively speaking, it’s unlikely that Singapore is a “crab”.
That said, there is a place in Singapore that has a “crab” formation, and a single-clawed thunder crab at that. It can be found in the region of Mount Faber and Sentosa! Looking at its geography, the crab’s body should be on the Mount Faber while the crab’s mouth is at Vivocity. Sentosa, Pulau Brani, and the container port area form the claw of the crab. Just look at the map and you’ll see it!
It’s common knowledge that crabs are highly defensive. Perhaps this is the reason why Sentosa and Pulau Brani were once military bases of strategic importance. Over time, however, these two islands have become places that attract wealth and boost economic development! No wonder the PSA (Port of Singapore Association) is one of the world’s busiest ports, with impressive container handling volume. Sentosa is also a popular tourist destination which welcomes hordes of tourists.
The “giant crab” formed by Sentosa and Pulau Brani has always faithfully defended Singapore’s port. The reason this thunder crab can protect us and attract wealth at the same time is thanks to its tough claw. This freely waving claw must not be closed, or it will not be able to draw crowds.
Due to changes in policy, the PSA and the port at Pulau Brani will move to Tuas come 2027 and the vacated land may be turned into an exclusive residential area. In order to allow easy travel between Pulau Brani and Sentosa, a bridge may be built that “ties up” the thunder crab’s claw. This would restrict the crab’s movements and ability to attract visitors. Let’s hope the authorities will consider this situation before deciding how the land will be used.
On another note, the authorities should also avoid building high-rise developments on this “crab” formation. Why? Because having high-rise buildings here is akin to sticking a chopstick into the heart of the crab, destroying the feng shui atmosphere here!
Everything in this world has its Achilles’ heel. In this sense, if you bring chopsticks or any long, slim objects to the casino at Resorts World Sentosa, could you overcome the “crab” and enjoy a windfall? This should be worth investigating…
