Do you believe in Feng Shui? If you do, I’m sure you do consider Feng Shui as part of your decision making process before you invest or buy a property. But if you don’t, will you still take Feng Shui into consideration?
Before we can answer these questions, let’s look at what type of Feng Shui believers out there in the market. So I interview my friends, relatives and strangers too. The conclusion is there are 4 different types or 4 different level of Feng Shui believers:
Type 1: Person who does NOT believe in Feng Shui at all.
This type of person does not give a damn about Feng Shui at all. These people are usually my non-Chinese friends such as Malay and Indian friends. Well, I have one Indian friend who believe in Feng Shui too but I think that is the minority.
Type 2: Person who believes in Feng Shui only at surface
This type of person believes in Feng Shui only at surface level. They know the basic rules of Feng Shui and some basic Feng Shui’s fundamentals such as house should not face directly to the road and etc.
Type 3: Person who believes in Feng Shui based on common sense
This type of person do their own research about Feng Shui and make common sense out of it. For items or Feng Shui practices that are out of their common sense, they choose to NOT believing in them. These are usually an educated people with strong analytic skills (e.g. an engineer). So, I”m actually belong to this type.
Type 4: Person who very believes in Feng Shui by knowing the rules
This type of person are the strong believers in Feng Shui and they know almost all the Feng Shui’s rules. However, they need someone who they think is reliable to tell them the rules of Feng Shui. So, they listen from friends or relatives about all these Feng Shui’s rules. For those rich one, they usually hire a Feng Shui master to tell them these “rules”.
Which Type of Feng Shui’s Believer You Want to Be?
No matter which type of Feng Shui believers are you, ultimately you should always invest or buy property at least like type 3 or type 4 of Feng Shui’s believer. The reason is very simple because type 3 and type 4 are the superset for the rest of the types. Look at the diagram below for better illustration.
The diagram basically tells you few things:
- If you’re type 3 and type 4 of Feng Shui’s believers, you can sell your house to type 2 and type 1.
- If you’re type 2, you can only sell to type 1.
So now, which type of Feng Shui believers you want to be? Even though you don’t believe in Feng Shui or even Feng Shui is a fake thing, you should also start to change by analysing your property with your Feng Shui.
This is a demand and supply rule and has really nothing to with whether you believe in Feng Shui or not. Good luck in your property investment!

Place something to increase certain "chi" contributes very small effect. I mean it will work but the effect is not significant. Also, if you put symbolic stuff (e.g dragon), it is only the psychology effect.
Anyway, one should look at Feng Shui from the macro perspective first before start looking inside the house. Understand or analyze outside of your house (e.g. also known as environment) is more critical. E.g. how is your surrounding area, how the wind blows and how the water flows are more important factors before you even start look into the Feng Shui within a house. :)
Feng Shui is science if you really understand. If you follow Feng Shui without understanding the scientific reason behind, then that could be "superstitious". :D
True, there is some science to it hence the common sense.
It is kinda hard to find the perfect house then, if need to consider alot of factors into the play.
I saw a blog that uses fengshui to determine which sector is good daily!! haha
Daily one is already too micro for me. I don't go down to that extend. :D
Actually Feng Shui could be a very depth knowledge and a lot of people even some Feng Shui masters may forgot or do not aware that it was originated from China which also means that rules are made based on China's location are no longer applicable in different location (e.g Malaysia).
Thus, understanding Feng Shui from a scientific perspective can avoid you from falling into the trap that you apply the wrong rules. :D
I am type 3 too. :P
"These are usually an educated people with strong analytic skills (e.g. an engineer). So, I”m actually belong to this type."
I guess most engineers are like that.
I don't practise feng shui, just that some things are purely common sense. Feng shui is in theory that,but got popularized as to become a "product placement" art.
E.g, you need to place a 'something' at a certain location to increase chi, wealth etc.
That IMHO is the main reason why Muslims reject fengshui which is seen as 'superstitious' and is hence forbidden in Islam.

I believe in Feng Shui but so far I have not been able to figure out what type I am.
Perhaps type 2? :)
I personally think for property investment purpose, we only need to be the 'type 2' category, which means only know the very surface rule of Feng Shui,like what you mentioned, do not buy the property which directly faces the junction of the road. As this is a very common Feng Shui rule, so most potential buyers will know it. Feng Shui analysis is something very subjective to different property owners. How we design our interior layout and the direction of the property location is greatly related to the occupants. That's why most Feng Shui masters will normally ask the occupants about the year of birth before deciding what kinds of colours or layout that are suitable to the occupants. I personally feel as long as the property we purchase is not conflicting with the most basic Feng Shui rule, the selling price can still be ideal provided the location of the property is good.
It depends on how basic is the basic. There are still other generic rules (which doesn’t apply to each property owner) such as, the water flow direction, facing direction of the house (there are good and not so good direction too in general), mountain and river/ sea location, near to TNB station, near to a mosque, near to Indah Water sewerage station, traffic environment (e.g. highway behind your house) and a lot more.
Basically the study for the external environment is important (usually is common-sense if you really understand it) before we look into Feng Shui that specific to each owner. :)
Yes, you are right. The external environment plays a very crucial role on deciding the value of the property.
