As promised from my last post on using AI to analyze Palm and Face Reading, https://newswav.com/A2606_g0YIao?s=A_MgHKLdN&language=en

this post is about Feng Shi using AI Claude to analyze and forecast on success and failures of businesses.

Here's the overall result on the above-mentioned building.

Feng Shui Analysis — Penang Times Square, Dato Kramat Road

https://g.co/gemini/share/a38dc5c7b503 Former land owner. Eastern Smelting.

1. Sha Qi from the Land's History (Predecessor Energy)

This is arguably the most critical Feng Shui issue. The land was once occupied by Eastern Smelting Company — a tin smelting facility. (Penang Wikia) In classical Feng Shui, land with a history of intense industrial fire energy (smelting = extreme Fire element) leaves behind deeply imbalanced Sha Qi (killing/toxic energy). This residual negative energy is very difficult to cleanse without proper ritual or land remediation. Building on such land without addressing this is considered a serious Feng Shui oversight.

2. Missing Monorail = Severed Dragon Vein. https://g.co/gemini/share/666d3219fb5e

The project was tied to the Penang Monorail, which turned out to be an empty promise and died a slow death after the federal government refused to fund it. (Penang Wikia) In Feng Shui terms, the planned monorail represented an active "water dragon" — a vital flow of people (Yang energy) that would have energised the mall. When that was cancelled, the building was left without its primary Qi conduit. A mall without footfall is like a body without blood flow.

3. Building Form — The Octagonal Top Traps Rather Than Circulates Qi

Building - Feng Shi Analysis.

From the photo, the prominent octagonal dome/cap on the corner tower is visually imposing but architecturally creates a closed, heavy crown. In Feng Shui, the top of a building should ideally have upward or open energy. A dark, heavy dome suppresses rising Qi and symbolically "caps" the prosperity of the building beneath it. The large dark blank panels (dead black surfaces facing the street) also emit Sha Qi — they reflect no life, no activity, no warmth.

4. 🚗 Road Configuration — Cutting Qi at the Front.

Road - Feng Shui Analysis.

Looking at the image, the road curves and splits in front of the building. In Feng Shui, a curved road with traffic moving away from the building acts like a "bow and arrow" formation (弓箭煞), pulling wealth away rather than accumulating it at the entrance. The building receives rushing Qi that doesn't settle.

5. MBI Curse — Yin Energy Accumulation. https://share.google/fEn8rORWmKmGdSXnq. MBI Ponzi Scheme.

MBI — a multimillion-ringgit pyramid scheme — was the anchor tenant of the retail mall. After MBI collapsed in 2018, the mall became empty. (The Edge Malaysia) In Feng Shui, a space that has hosted fraudulent, deceptive energy accumulates heavy Yin Sha.

Thousands of people who lost money there left behind grief, anger and despair — all powerful negative emotional imprints on the space. This is extremely hard to reverse without a full energetic cleanse.

6. Residential Above Commercial — Imbalance of Yin and Yang

Having heavy residential towers sitting directly atop a commercial mall creates a Yin-Yang conflict. Residences are Yin (quiet, still, private); malls are Yang (noisy, active, public). When Yin dominates and presses down on Yang space below, commercial activity is suppressed. The sheer mass and height of the residential block visually and energetically crushes the retail podium beneath it.

7. Facing Direction & Missing Bright Hall (明堂)

A successful mall requires a spacious, open Ming Tang (Bright Hall) in front — an open plaza where Qi can gather before entering. From the photo, the forecourt appears tight and cramped with a road immediately in front. There is insufficient space for beneficial Qi to accumulate, so it just flows past.

Summary Table

Feng Shui Issue

Severity

Toxic land history (smelting)

🔴 Critical

Loss of the Monorail (Qi flow)

🔴 Critical

MBI scandal imprint (Yin Sha)

🔴 Critical

Heavy dome capping rising Qi

🟠 High

Road cutting Qi away

🟠 High

Residential crushing commercial

🟠 High

No Ming Tang (Bright Hall)

🟡 Moderate

Remedies (if any revival is planned)

Thorough land and space cleansing ritual before any relaunch

Water feature at the entrance to slow and gather Qi

Bright, warm lighting to convert dead Yin panels into Yang energy

Repositioning the main entrance to face the most auspicious direction based on a proper Luo Pan (compass) reading

Activating the wealth corner inside with constant movement and light

The combination of toxic land history, a broken infrastructure promise, and the MBI scandal creates what Feng Shui practitioners would call a "triple Sha" — three layers of negative energy compounding one another. Without deliberate remediation, revival will remain very challenging.

Conclusion.

The analysis result is astounding! It has all the correct reasons explaining the failure of this project. And it also provides remedy actions.

How I wish the developer had this AI tools when they first took up this project.

AI can analyze and forecast correctly (maybe close to 100%) on almost anything, be it your palm, face, or building. You can be your own Feng Shui Master.

So in future if you're planning to invest, buy, any new properties, please take a snapshot of your property and ask Claude.!

Welcome to the world of AI where all possibilities are possible or almost.
