Officials in Singapore have changed the direction of the world's biggest observation wheel because feng shui masters said it was taking good fortune away from the city, a report said on Saturday.
The Singapore Flyer, which opened earlier this year, had originally revolved so that it rose to face the business district and went down overlooking the sea... However, masters of the ancient Chinese art of geomancy convinced the wheel's management to reverse it so that it was not taking fortune away from the city.
"A number of feng shui masters had approached us to tell us that the Flyer is on the perfect site to pick up the good qi (energy) flowing into Singapore, but it was going in the wrong direction," said Florian Bollen, the Singapore Flyer's chairman. "The Flyer was going against the sun and taking fortune away from Singapore." ~ AFP News

Haha.
My guess is NO. -- duhh...
because... somebody will say, it's just to PREVENT good fortunes from going out. they didn't say the change in direction will ENCOURAGE good fortune to come in.
Even if you DO get big, fat bonuses... Some people will increase taxes to make more roads...
So sad... Heh just like our ministers, I sure can make do with a pay rise :P
