Low Yat Plaza is totally different. When you locate a shopping mall, you want it to be on the main road, prominent and sell a wide range of products. This Plaza is hidden from the main road and there is only a small road leading to the entrance. But yet, it is busy and specialises in a niche.

Feng Shui Analysis
The top image shows the side road leading to Low Yat Plaza, it is goes downhill directly to the entrance marked A on the Google Earth image. The energy is from the North west direction. This energy has the properties of the metal element which relates it to computers hardware, power and money. This Plaza specialises in IT hardware products and good business is being done there.

The purpose of this posting is to show that the conventional idea of shopping malls has to be in a prominent location for it to do good business and sell a wide range of products. It is not applicable in all cases. In a forth coming posting, I will show a very prominent shopping mall but it gets no business or hardly any footfall. It is all about getting the right amount of energy for the purpose.

In the case of Low Yat Plaza, it is getting a very specific energy. This energy is specific for IT products. The business there is good and the vendors are doing good business,.

Both these Plazas were opened in the 1970s. One has been extremely busy and the other has been extremely quiet. Is there a reason?

A Feng Shui analysis can provide the answer.

Sungei Wang Plaza has been busy since the day it opened. Its main entrance (A) is open and uncluttered facing in the North east (NE) direction. There is a side door in the front of the building. Although this door (B) faces the same direction as the main door of (NE), it is located in the East Sector of the building. There is another minor door (C) in the South east direction and sector.

Analysis:
1. Sungei Wang Plaza gets its energy from the downhill slope. It is this energy that the 2 doors in the front receive. The prevalent energy for this current Period (2004-2024) is from the North East. Therefore, there is good energy going into these 2 doors.

2. It is a Hetu combination between the 2 doors in the front. The main door is in the North East Sector (8) and the minor door is in the East Sector (3). 8 and 3 are the Hetu combination

3. Secondly, the Zhen (1st son) sector is East in the Later Heaven Sequence but Zhen is in the North East in the Early Heaven sequence. This is an Early heaven and Later heaven combination.

These are 2 auspicious combinations for the 2 doors at the front of the building.
This building will retain its prosperity for a long period of time as long as these combinations of doors are not disturbed.

It is so different with BB Plaza. The main entrances are in the North West direction but they are blocked by stalls along the road. How can the energy reach the main doors? BB Plaza has been sold to the owners of Sungei Wang Plaza and they are connected internally,

However, there is a tremendous difference in the footfall between Sungei Wang and BB Plazas. It is always busy in Sungei Wang and very quiet in BB Plaza.

What is happening to the West Edmonton Mall?

On 06/12/2011, in Blog, Features, by Michael Oon

The West Edmonton Mall (WEM) opened its doors in September 1981 and has expanded three more times to become the largest mall in the world until 2004. It is now the 5th largest mall with the largest 2 in China and the following ones in Philippines and Dubai respectively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Edmonton_Mall The WEM is a destination [...]

The West Edmonton Mall (WEM) opened its doors in September 1981 and has expanded three more times to become the largest mall in the world until 2004. It is now the 5th largest mall with the largest 2 in China and the following ones in Philippines and Dubai respectively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Edmonton_Mall

The WEM is a destination shopping centre with amusement parks, Waterpark, Sea Lion Rock, Movie theatres, a Recreation Centre, ice rink in addition to the shopping facilities. What has happened to this Shopping Mall? I visited this mall.

At first glance, the activity of the mall was uneven and at times unusual. The activity was concentrated around phases 2 and 3. Phase 1 and 4 were particularly quiet. Secondly, it was the second or upper floor that was busier than the ground floor. The interior looks dated and tired; not in keeping with the times.

The leading brand names are not in this Mall. The second tier or lower brands are present. This is a reflection of the significance of this Mall of the major brands. It is not a major mall.

There are a number of themed areas – Bourbon Street (for food), Europa Boulevard (shops) and Chinatown. Europa Boulevard has European styled Buildings for shops but in the centre alley, there is a tacky Putt and Play golf course which is totally incongruous. Bourbon Street and Chinatown are both busy. Europa is not busy.

Sources of energy: On the ground floor, the only source of energy is Door 50. This supplies the energy to the parts of the building in phase 2 and 3. The other doors are blocked by the multi-storey car parks.

On the Second floor, there are more sources of energy but only in the phase 2 and 3. This is most prominent in the Chinatown area.

The owners of the mall have been given permission to extend the mall by building over entrance 50. This will restrict the flow of energy to the Mall.

In my opinion, once this extension is built, this will be the start of the slow death of the Mall.
