If you have been following my blog, you will notice that I m the one who always strongly against building skyscrapers. This is because in feng shui, we look for harmony in qi. We do not wish to obtain qi that is too vigorous or rapid which is considered as too ‘yang’ or ‘positive’ in feng shui. It is like if you get a strong shine of hot Sunlight directly to your house daily, that will create inauspicious qi. Vice versa, we also cannot obtain qi which is too ‘yin’ or ‘negative’ either. Thus, it is inauspicious if you stay in a bedroom which there is no Sunlight can shine into the room at all, the qi there will be too ‘yin’. Being the tallest building in the city, the 100 storey Warisan Merdeka is too ‘yang’ or it has too much positive energy because when the Sun rises; it will shine on the skyscraper first. It is the first building to get the Sun light.
Everything in this world is talking about ‘balancing’. We do not want the extreme. For instance, a burning hot Sun makes us uncomfortable but neither do we love to stay in a place with -10 degree Celsius. In Chinese, we say 水能载舟也能覆舟 Water can help to sail a boat and if the flow of the water is too strong then it will overturn a boat. Look at the recent flood in Pakistan and China. We need water but too much of water harm us.
Moreover, being the tallest building in the city, the 100 storey Warisan Merdeka does not have any support as it does not have the supports from Green Dragon and Black Turtle 左青龙 后玄武. Instead, it is the support for other buildings. Bear in mind, the Ming Emperor永乐皇帝 built and created a hill at the back of the Forbidden City to create support for himself. Think about it, even the Emperor who was the most powerful man in that time required a back of support, how about us?
If you do a research, it is not hard for you know the impacts of building the tallest skyscrapers:-
1. When the then world's tallest building, the Empire State Building, New York was completed in 1931, the United States fell into a great economic depression.
2. Chicago built the Sears Tower in 1974 and in the same year, the United States faced an economic recession.
3. When the Petronas Twin Towers were completed, Malaysia did not turn prosperous because of it. Instead, it fell into a slump. Today, Malaysia’s petroleum reserve is depleting.
4. When Taiwan built Taipei 101 in 2003, its economy suffered a severe blow from the global financial tsunami.
5. Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building in Dubai and many people know that Dubai is currently facing a debt crisis.
