Tanglin (Central)

Tanglin District (Central) - Pair of Unicorns Meeting at a Cornel

Do you know that there is a scholar land in Singapore? The scholar land is a place where talents congregate and is ideal for learning. Singapore's scholar land is quite unique. In feng shui, it is termed a pair of unicorns meeting in a cornel.

Unicorn Area Produces Talents

According to an ancient Chinese feng shui book, in ancient times examinations were held for the purpose of selecting the most outstanding candidates. The best few would be interviewed personally by the emperor, who would then select one as the top scholar. The ancient emperors firmly believed in feng shui. Hence before deciding on the top scholar, they would send a magistrate to the short listed scholar's hometown to check on the feng shui of their ancestor's residences or grace. Usually, the results showed that they reside on cornel land or golden clock land, but not on unicorn land. Apparently, all these three types of landforms are spiritual lands capable of producing talents.

Pairing a Unicorn land with a cornel land is like bestowing a pair of wings on a tiger - a lethal and invincible combination!

One of the two unicorns is situated at the NIE campus (previously the University of Singapore), while the other is located at the Shangri-la Hotel. The former is associated with scholarly pursuits and keeps records, while the latter is linked to wealth and draws in treasures. Eighteen clusters of cornel are scattered throughout this region. Cornel grows in abundance everywhere, especially on Lady Hill, which is why that area brims with foreign embassies and consulates.

A pair of unicorns meeting at a cornel land is the place for cultivating one's ambitions and fame. In the pre-war days, the present site of NIE was home to Singapore's institution of higher education - Raffles College. It later developed into the University of Malaya. The fact that it was built on this unicorn land in Singapore instead of in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya's capital is surely a display of wonders of feng shui.

After Singapore separated from Malaysia, the University of Malaya was renamed University of Singapore. The student population soared and it became impossible to accommodate the huge number of students, so it moved to Kent Ridge. The feng shui of the unicorn land is not in the least affected by this relocation. The land is still occupied by and institute of higher learning, NIE, and remains a spiritual land for nurturing talents.

Great Power of Prosperity Unicorn

The other unicorn is located at Shangri-la Hotel. Although it is rather inconvenient to reach due to its distance from the main road, the hotel is famous world-wide and has clinched many awards as best hotel in Singapore and Asia. In the late 1980s, when the tourism industry was adversely affected by economic downturn, the occupancy rate of many hotels fell by 50% But Shangri-la Hotel managed to maintain a 70% to 80% occupancy rate during that lull period. The fact that it continues to prosper proves the prowess of the prosperity unicorn.

The unicorn land is beneficial to people who are hardworking and talented. The unicorn is also called none of the four. The residents in this district must specialise in order to become professionals or experts. Gaining fame will then not be difficult. The only worry is that you becoming a Jack of all trades but master of none, thereby realising the prophetic term none of the four.
