For a Happier and Wealthier Home, Follow These 4 Tips From a Feng Shui Master

img_3208-panorama_rev

Master Paul Kek is part of the Renaye & Paul Consultancy Group and is a Professional Certified Feng Shui Master, Professional Certified Tarot & Numerology Consultant and Professional Certified Crystal & Colours Consultant. He first entered the field in 1996 giving Aura Photo readings in Singapore and has since expanded his skill set to a number of different areas.

Master Kek was recently invited by Nobel Design, in association with Malaysian Developer UEM Sunrise out to some of their Iskandar developments to complete a reading on developments like Estuari Gardens and Residensi Ledang. According to Master Kek, “Feng Shui is harnessing the Qi, balancing the elements of Yin and Yang”.

Here are some tips from the master on what to look for when it comes to feng shui:

1| Your home should be positioned in the north-south orientation
The first area to focus on at your home is the exterior. The optimal direction is a north-south orientation. The north direction is the Yin element and the south direction is the Yang element. Getting this balance will create prosperity on the premises. Famous examples include the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Taj Mahal in Agra.

2 | The front door should not be on the axis.
So if your front door is lined up with your neighbour then that will definitely create a problem. It is said to elevate the chances of conflicts between the two houses. If you can have a diagonal direction of both the main doors, then this will slow down the energy. Finally, ensure there is plenty of space in the front of your home to ensure energy can flow in.

3| Square spaces are good
As we move inside the premises, it’s important for the interior to be a square structure. This allows for energy to accumulate. In practical terms, this means you have more space to place furniture and the rooms feel more spacious. Thus allowing for a smooth flow of Qi. What do you receive for following this design layout? More happiness and prosperity.

4| Other house features
Other important factors to consider: is there water in the centre? Water located in the centre will retain energy and if it is moving then it will spread energy out within the premises. Are there pillars within the room? Ideally it’s beneficial to not have any. Pillars have a tendency to obstruct the flow of energy causing it to breakdown within the different rooms. This can cause poor health and a lack of wealth for individuals living inside the home. Finally, it is important not to have the main front door facing a window. Energy will flow straight out of the home and possibly your wealth as well.

Master Kek also explained how your surroundings can affect your Feng Shui. It’s good to have a quiet and cosy environment. Why? It allows for energy to be smooth and calm within the home. A natural habitat recovers and replenishes energy, while having a lion or dragon shape will protect you.

Shama Medini Iskandar Joins Malaysia’s Fast Expanding Luxury Property Market

Iskandar Malaysia, home to 2,217 square kilometres of economic opportunities, is leaving most of Malaysia in its wake as a development hotspot. An increasing number of projects are ushering in people from across the region to the southern tip of peninsular Malaysia.

Part of the UMLand Medini Lakeside masterplan, which sits across from Legoland, Shama Medini features 213 serviced apartments. Within the upscale development, residents and guests will have access to retail in UMC Mall, as well as multiple restaurants, a gym, swimming pool, kids’ play areas, outdoor pavilion and a surau within the development itself. Covering more than two hectares, the development overlooks a beautiful five-hectare lake.

There’s an enormity of things going on in this region of Malaysia. Besides the aforementioned Legoland with its seven themed areas of family fun, there’s also a number of universities based there. EduCity, a fully integrated education hub, plays host to a number of international universities including the University of Southampton, Raffles University and Newcastle University. Students can live on campus and receive an international education from a top university, all while not being too far from home.

Pinewood Studios can also be found in Iskandar. Many people will be familiar with the British studio due to its part in producing the Harry Potter film series in the U.K. The 50-acre site has turned Johor Bahru into a regional hub for producing television shows and films. Netflix’s Marco Polo series was shot here. Just down the street, Kota Iskandar, the administrative capital of the region, sits in a vast complex near the luxurious Puteri Harbour with its waterfront shops and restaurants only moments away.

Other than the incredible Shama Medini development and the attractions in the region, there are further incentives to move to and invest in Medini. When it’s time to sell your property, there’s no real property gain tax up to 2020. As a foreigner, you can purchase property here, and if you plan to open a business, there’s a 10-year corporate tax exemption for approved companies. These tax incentives stretch even further with reduced income tax for qualified knowledge workers.

UMCity is just a hop, skip and a jump (10-minute drive) from the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link, and only 15 minutes from Johor Bahru. The proposed high speed rail link with nearby Gerbang Nusajaya station will offer even faster connections to Singapore and the rest of Malaysia.

South Korean company Samsung C&T, famous for building the Petronas Twin Towers and the Burj Khalifa have been contracted to build the tower. The construction is set to be completed in the third quarter of 2018. Shama Medini will feature a range of different sized units. From studios at 583 sq. ft. all the way up to three beds, with the largest topping out at 1,192 sq. ft., the development offers great options for singles, couples and large families alike.

All units will be operated by Onyx Hospitality Group. Owners will also have access to the Shama Privilege Card, bringing perks above and beyond your typical investment including 14-days of free stay at Shama Medini. Forecasted annual returns are expected to be high in this sought-after development.

For those of you looking to move to the region or are purely looking to invest in property within Malaysia, Shama Medini should definitely be on your radar. It offers a great location, lots of potential for future development, and is a renowned quality product from UMLand and Shama.
