Wikipedia states that Public Bank Bhd is currently the biggest domestic bank in Malaysia by shareholders' funds. It focuses on retail customers and small to medium sized enterprises. The bank was founded in 1966 by TanSri Teh HongPiow, the then general manager of Malayan Banking. The bank was listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange in 1967.
What is more interesting is this bank has managed to withstand a number of Asian and global financial crises largely due to its prudent policies where other banks had been either taken over or merged, this is one bank that has remained in the helm of a Chinese Banking Grandmaster. Something that is "unfavorable" in a Malaysian context.
With a repute of such, many urban legends evolved as it is believed to have been FengShui(ed). One interesting question is has it got to do with FlyingStar, Eight Mansion and Water Dragon (all classify under SanYuan school)?
Someone actually state that SanYuan facing must have a door but that is not 100% entirely true and this is reflected from this bank as a classic example. However, my question is where is the facing? One suggests that the main entrance facing KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers) is the facing. Close scrutiny revealed that the main door is “abnormally” designed to push away Qi instead of receiving it. Could this be the main door? Where SanYuan believed that the door is the main Qi mouth, wouldn’t it be absurd to push away Qi instead of receiving? Could the water features in front of KLCC somewhere near the cross junction act as the water dragon, "pulling nose Sha" or simply both towering “Corn Head” slit in between presenting what is known as “Heavenly Chop Sha”, that warrant the main door to push away Qi?
Another observation, this is a Bank Headquarter without any banking hall. How often, did one observed that the main entrance FengShui is so good that it is jam packed with people to take a peep on who is the legendary TanSri Teh HongPiow? Unlike all other retail outlet which requires many walk-in customers, a Headquarter is never FengShui in that manner.
On another hand, the so called “rear” is actually fronting a river in the convex fashion. Many landform purists would say, it is not within what is popularly known as “jade belt embrace” but it is this form that has been prospering the bank for perpetuity. You can also forget about white tiger and green dragon stuff. Crossing the bright hall is a formation of mountain resembling the Chinese Gold Ingot, which does it, means anything? One question remain, is this parent mountain or the table mountain? So, where the hell is the facing?
The real “KungFu” is within its landform, more details HERE and not the over rated FlyingStar, Eight Mansion and Water Dragon as you do with water features, as there is no concrete proof to such claim whatsoever. Which one do you believe, proof or hearsay?
