i like to share a story i heard about why Singapore has so many trees.
Look at Singapore Map - do you not think it look like a crab from the top view.
If there is no trees around, it will be like a cooked crab. That will not be good for Singapore.
So trees were planted every where in Singapore so that Singapore will look like a healthy lively crab from the top view. Healthy crab is green This bring about good fortune for this tiny Island.
This is accordingly results of good fengshiu consultation.

ha ha, bookworm... that sounds more like "crap" to me.
If you asked me a green crab is "healthy". when have you seen a green crab before?

Don enemy - you need to go study more!
I mentioned top view - so outline from top view not that Singapore is a crab.
Onion - i think better you go to the market and see the fresh crabs from the stalk they are definitely not red it is either dark green/ olive green towards tone of darker side.

I heard from a friend that the late Master Hong Chuan advised our MM on this le... apparently he also told MM that everyone in Singapore should have a "ba gua" and that's why our $1 coin and road tax decal is in the shape of a ba gua
