2011 will be a good year, say feng shui masters and astrologer

PETALING JAYA: The year is expected to be turbulent with both ups and downs, according to feng shui masters who say that the first six months will be significantly better than the second half of 2011.

Good Feng Shui Geomantic Research master Kenny Hoo said this year would be very good for the metal-related, insurance, banking and stockbroking industries.

“The car industry will boom. Wood-related industries will flourish as well, such as the timber, media, furniture, palm oil and rubber industries,” Hoo said.

However, he said there would be many hidden opportunities this year that people might not be able to see.

“I have named this the Consolidation Year as people will need to gather wisdom, knowledge and strength in order to filter opportunities from risks.”

“The scholastic star is in the south-west. In your homes, you can activate it by ensuring the area is kept neat, tidy and clean.

“Redecorating it as a study room is good as well,” he said when asked how to gain wisdom from a feng shui perspective.

He cautioned that renovations should be avoided for the east, west and south sectors.

Vedic astrologer Master Yuvaraj Sowma from Chennai, India, said the new year would be a “golden year” for business people.

“This applies especially for those involved in the textile, gold and cosmetics trades,” he said, adding that more marriages would happen in 2011.

He added that those born under the moon sign of Vrishabah (Taurus), Kataka (Cancer), Kanya (Virgo), Vrischika (Scorpio) and Kumbha (Aquarius) would enjoy better times.

Master Yuvaraj said if the Malaysian Government decides to call for an early general election it would be favourable to the ruling party.

“Opposition parties will be embroiled in controversies and infighting in 2011,” he said.

Malaysian Institute of Geomancy Sciences (MINGS) founder Prof David Koh said South-east Asia is likely to do well in the economic sector.

“However, natural disasters and epidemics are likely this year.

“Dry weather in June to July might cause forest fires in the east, whereas possible floods in the northern region might happen again in August to September,” he said in his book 2011 Year of the Rabbit: MINGS Outlook.

Prof Koh added that there was a strong indication of a major catastrophe related to “a lot of water” in December in Thailand and Indonesia.

Blogger:How does master Kenny Hoo know that this year would be very good for the metal-related, insurance, banking and stockbroking industries.

He also said“The car industry will boom. Wood-related industries will flourish as well, such as the timber, media, furniture, palm oil and rubber industries,”

Well, if I were to hold a feng shui class, I can tell you the answer. If you studied feng shui, you probably know the answer. If you don't know, it would mean you have to go for feng shui classes. This is just the ABC of feng shui.

‘Take care, the deity is fierce’

‘Take care, the deity is fierce’

GEORGE TOWN: Thieves who stole the statue of Dato Hijau from a temple here have been advised not to keep the deity as he is said to be fierce.

Thnee Kong (God of Heaven) temple caretaker cum spiritual healer Master Ong Q Leng said: “Those who took the fierce guardian, please take care.”

She said Dato Hijau was one of the six statues stolen from a temple behind the dilapidated Relau Villa Mansion here.
It was right here: Ong showing the altar where the stolen idols of deities were placed. The thieves have been warned to face the wrath of the fierce deity Dato Hijau if it is not returned.

She said she went to the temple at about 8am on Wednesday and found four of the six statues missing from the altar.

The temple houses the Jade Em­­peror, Mazu (Goddess of the Sea), Hai Loong Ong (Sea Dragon King) and Tua Pek Kong (God of Prosperity) deities.

The two other stolen statues of Dato Hijau and Dato Hitam were placed at nearby shrines.

Ong has lodged a report at the Jelutong police station

“Just place the idols back in their original place. I am not interested in taking any action.

“I just want them back,” she said here yesterday.

She said it was pointless for anyone to take home the statues, worth more than RM1,000, as the deities would no longer be around.

She said the statues were probably stolen by those planning to set up a new temple as the statues, especially the Hai Loong Ong, were hard to find.

Ong said she had sought replacements at many prayer paraphernalia shops on the island but was told that some would only be ready in six months.
