News Update S'pore Headhunters go to geomancers

COMPANIES in Singapore are turning to feng shui masters to help conduct interviews of candidates applying for senior management and financial officers posts, reported Sin Chew Daily.

Singapore Feng Shui Master Xu Yi Ting said this was because the two positions are crucial to a company and because the company could be in trouble if someone greedy was hired.

The daily quoted Mr Xu as saying that some corporations also requested feng shui masters to observe their working partners to see if they were sincere and could be trusted.

'Bosses have requested me to accompany them to dinners so I could observe their partners,' she said.

The daily reported that a woman who applied for a secretary's post was rejected because a feng shui master hired by the employer said she had a 'peach blossom face'.


A folklore expert, identified only as Mr Dong, said a woman who has moist eyes, fine crow's feet and upward-slanting lips would be good at interpersonal relationships, but she could have affairs with male colleagues or her employer. Such applicants were normally rejected, he said. -- THE STAR/ANN
