Fengshui Review: MOP Resale Flats at Saint George’s Towers (D12)
Looking for a resale public housing flat that has reached its 5-year minimum occupation period (MOP)? For those who are looking for a MOP resale flat nearer to the city centre, Saint George’s Towers could be an option for you.
Located a stone’s throw from Boon Keng MRT station, these towering flats provide high-rise urban living, with some units enjoying views of the adjacent park connector and Sungei Whampoa. That sounds pretty promising in terms of fengshui, right? Well, read on for our in-depth fengshui review of Saint George’s Towers to see how it fares in terms of geomancy.
Saint George’s Towers: Landform Fengshui
Bounded by St George’s Road and Serangoon Road, Saint George’s Towers resides in the precinct of Boon Keng, which is a subzone of Kallang. This housing estate sits on the Southern Dragon, aka the Wealth Dragon.
Located near Whampoa River, Saint George’s Towers is part of the fengshui land formation known as, ‘Five Snakes Battling a White Crocodile” with Kallang River complementing four other waterways. The four other waterways are namely Rochor River, Whampoa River, Geylang River and Pelton Canal. With abundant water sources in the area, one may think that this indicates greater wealth opportunities for residents in Kallang.
Nevertheless, the river mouth is shaped like a crocodile’s mouth, where fast-flowing undercurrents and dangers lurk. Older Singaporeans may recall that developments at Kallang River precede that of Singapore River, but growth is slow due to distracting competitions between the Five Snakes. The diversion of the river also affects the land formation. In spite of its prime location and proximity to central Singapore, Kallang boasts an idyllic and quiet environment – ideal for quality living.
External fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a resale flat.
Beyond its proximity to Boon Keng MRT Station, Whampoa Park, and various amenities in the prime district, Saint George’s Towers promises convenience to its residents.
However, high-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats or oppression, etc.
Such negative energies can result in increased anxiety and inability to concentrate, which may affect career and academic development. Homeowners that encounter such scenarios may display a pair of guardian lions or Six Emperor Coins emblem to ward off the negative energies. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
In landscape fengshui, a household is considered auspicious and blessed with prosperity and abundance if you can see flowing water from your living room, especially if there is a large door or window that allows an inflow of energy from the river across your home. Nevertheless, it is crucial to determine the river flow direction to determine if having a view of the flowing water is indeed beneficial to one’s household.
Some units at Block 25A and 26B along Whampoa park will enjoy a view of Whampoa River. It is best to seek advice from a professional fengshuipractitioner to determine if the river flow direction will bring positive influences to your household.
Last but not least, there is a 8-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) within Saint George’s Towers. Some units (stack 21, 23, 27, 37, 39) face the MSCP directly, and would be affected if your unit is on a lower storey (below 8 floor).
This indicates fengshui conflicting forces (煞气) such as noise pollution (噪音) and headlight flashes from moving cars, which could affect daily life and lead to health problems such as insomnia. To counter this, homeowners can consider installing a window blind or curtains.
Internal fengshui considerations
Did you know that the main orientation of your house will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s)? The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Saint George’s Towers comprises 3 residential blocks of 738 units, comprising Studio Apartments and 3-, 4-room Standard Flats. These blocks range from 32 to 34 storeys in height. The majority of units in this soon-to-MOP housing estate face Northeast/Southwest.
However, North and South are the most auspicious fengshui directions in these upcoming periods, followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have identified some Period 9 Auspicious Homes, as listed below. Do you live in any of these blocks?
While there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone, those residing in a unit that faces Northeast or Southwest may want to consider a fengshui consultation as these directions are not as favourable in the upcoming fengshui periods.
Besides that, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Events and happenings within a space create energy vibrations that can either be positive or negative. These are not limited to indoor spaces, but could also be infused into the estate that you plan to live in. Hence, it makes sense to understand the history of your to-be neighbourhood, especially recent happenings that could leave traces of remnant energies.
Prior to selecting your house or flat, take a walk in the estate and take note of the features of surrounding buildings that may harbour threats of negative influences or hinder ventilation within your home. The main idea is to garner and ensure the smooth flow of positive Qi (energy) within your new home while avoiding Sha Qi (negative energies).
Sha Qi in the environment surrounding your home can manifest into loss of wealth, accidents, and sickness. If there are sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, then it is best to consider another unit or seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Also, Period 9 corresponds with the South, representing a strong Fire element. As such, you should be mindful of locating important spaces within your premises. For example, it is best to make adjustments if your stove (also of fire element) is facing South, otherwise too much fire energy can cause instability and burnout for members in the household.
Residents of Saint George’s Towers should take note, since this housing project sits on the Southern Dragon, also representative of the Fire element.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
While the location of Saint George’s Towers promises convenience, most units face the least favourable directions of fengshui Period 9. Thankfully, beyond selecting a unit that is auspicious in the reigning luck cycle, homeowners must consider a unit that suits your Bazi.
