The Role of Feng Shui in Malaysian Real Estate
Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical and metaphysical system that seeks to harmonise individuals with their surrounding environment. The term “Feng Shui” translates to “wind and water” in English.
Many Malaysian believe in Feng Shui and think that good Feng Shui can influence one’s health, wealth, and overall well-being. Here are the key things to pay attention about what to look out for and what are taboos.
The 4 Feng Shui To Look Out For In A Property
Ample sunlight
Selection of the house at first glance must be the location of the parking space or balcony. These 2 places must ensure that the sunlight can shine into the living room either through the window or open door, and make sure indoor spaces are not dark or blocked from sunlight.
Sunlight represents Yang Qi. A house that has enough sunlight and sunshine which means enough Yang Qi. Enough Yang Qi will ensure that your luck will not be too bad, and that your career, wealth and health will be good.
Smooth ventilation
When you move into the house, the first thing to see is the living room location. The living room must have smooth air flow and should not have odour.
Feng Shui is most concerned about “hiding wind and gathering gas”. That is to say, the air flow in the house is not easily stuffy. So make sure the wind can blow in, but the wind can not be too big, it must be slow wind. This will allow the air to flow slowly, and if the wind is too strong, the prosperous Qi will be blown away.
The surrounding terrain is flat and open
The terrain around the whole house is preferably flat and open, so that when you live in it, your fortune will be smooth and fluid, and will not twist and turn in trouble. A great example is Eco World Grandeur project as shown as the photo above. The gard
Especially the front of the house can not have a slope, if the front of the house is a sloping road, your wealth will slip away and you can not gather wealth.
It is better to have a square house shape
In Feng Shui, the best shape for a house is a square with no missing corners. If the house is square, it means that it is a house where everything is going well. But in Malaysia, there are houses that look like the photos above. Although it is not as square as Eco Grandeur, but back in the days, these houses are quite popular. There are ways for you to enhance the wealth of the houses too, just consult a feng shui expert and they’ll know what you need to improve.
The 4 Feng Shui Taboos of Buying a House:
Avoid direct road
In Feng Shui, the door of the house can not be seen in front of the busy road directly, this kind of house in front of such a road is easy to fly to a disaster, unless it is a special pattern, we highly don’t recommend you to choose this house, because not only is it expose to many cars but also prone to have burglars.
Avoid bowing from the road
House generally facing the area road, like the bow of the terrain, surrounded by the embrace of the landscape, is the meaning of good for you, everything goes with your heart.
On the contrary, the opposite bow road, represents the ruthlessness and hostility to any event you do, even generate hostility. Choosing such a house is sure to be everything is not good, difficult to get ahead.
Avoid tall buildings and towers in front of your house
If the front of the house has tall buildings and towers, it will block the front view of your house and lights coming into the house. This can result as luck not being able to rise which would also cause blockage of what you’re doing, people bullying you, and you may have “small people” in your life that would cause you downfall. Hence, try to avoid having tall buildings in front of your house.
Avoid dwelling places that are sunken at the back of the house
Feng Shui theories says that the back of the mountain is to help us, we can do things successfully, one of the important factors is whether there is the help of the mountain. If the back of the house sinks, especially the bottom of the sink to the height of a floor, this will cause you to do things outside, everything depends on their own efforts, the lack of backing help, even if you pay 100 points of effort but only 50 points of return.
Overall, you can try to use the Feng Shui perspective for reference, so that you can be more specific to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the house, whether the house will be more prosperous for you or whether it will be unlucky to live in the house. So that you can be more objective in evaluating whether the house is good or bad for you, rather than relying on the feeling alone to pick the house.
