“THE world is undergoing significant transitions.
Western astrologers noted a shift from the Earth era to the Air era that occurred in December 2020. Feng Shui masters discuss a shift from Period 8, characterised by the Earth element, to Period 9, associated with the Fire element, set for the first day of Spring in the Chinese calendar, on February 4, 2024.
As we depart from Earth era and the Earth influence of Period 8, the significance of the real estate and construction industries fade off.
The new alignment of Fire and Air elements suggests a surge in heated discussions, especially in politics and corporate competition concerning climate issues, sustainability, and ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) practices.
With several general elections in major economies in 2024, we need to brace ourselves for an increase in hypocrisy, empty gestures, and unfulfilled promises.
Hunker down, protect ourselves and our neighbours.”

MANAGING DIRECTOR, ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS SINGAPORE
“2023 has been an eventful year.
The substantial rise in taxes (rising Goods and Services Taxes and prices of Certificate of Entitlement) this year has definitely impacted the whole automotive industry and buyer sentiment.
We at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Singapore remain cautiously optimistic, moving into 2024.
We are excited as we journey into a new era with our first all-electric Spectre, a most stylish and sophisticated two-door fastback coupé.
Add to that, we moved into our new Luxury Showcase, which is the first and largest Rolls-Royce showroom in the Asia Pacific region to represent the marque’s latest global standard.
We are passionate and committed to continue offering our valued clients the extraordinary, personalised and immersive experience consistent with Rolls-Royce’s pinnacle levels of bespoke luxury and craftsmanship.”
