Fung Shui

2 Nov 2010 - Kuala Lumpur is full with urban development. Wherever one looks skyscrapers are being erected. I was told that many of those buildings are empty and that people are waiting for the big boom in the real estate market, but so far it does not stop developers from building more, higher, bigger. What does this mean for fung shui in KL? One could be living next to a park or empty land with lots of greenerey and vegetation but the fung shui could be disturbed by the construction of a highway or power station on that plot. Village people are often much better in tune with nature and have long protested such developments. Christian missionaries in the 20th century tried to discredit these villagers and their fung shui beliefs, as they saw construction as development. They did not loike them to complain about the installation of electrical and telegraph poles near their homes. There are no more Christian missionaries in Malaysia in the 21st century so construction is on. And fung shui appears to be forgotten.
