Fontain of Wealth.

The world’s largest fountain with a base area of 1,683 square metres, Fountain of Wealth is located in the center of Suntec City Mall. The ring jets water inwards into the basin below while at the center of the fountain, water ejects up to 30 metres into the air.This fountain is outstanding with a bronze ring supporting four legs. Feng shui experts (Chinese geomancers) believe that the water flowing inwards represents riches pouring in. It is good idea to take a walk round the fountain and touch the water for bringing good luck and prosperity to you.
Fontain of  Wealth
Supported by four 13.8 metres high bronze legs and spreading over an area of 1683.07 metres, the Fountain of Wealth has been accorded the status of "World's Largest Fountain" in the 1998 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. It is symbolically the ring in the palm of the hand, guaranteeing the retention of wealth. It is destined to be Singapore's most visited tourist destination.

The plaza would provide a large outdoor space for people to gather. But on its own, it would not achieve sufficient visual impact. A dramatic fountain was proposed as a visual focus. The Fountain Plaza, now the focal point of Suntec City, is also at the heart of the Marina Center area. Not only is it the hub of circulation within the development, it also draws life from the surrounding buildings. This is why it sits off center within Suntec City -so that it can be directly connected to its neighbors.

The flowing water from the Fountain is also a potent symbol as water is the essence of life in almost every culture. Located round this symbolic center of life are the buildings which make up Suntec City. These buildings attract human activity - life - to the area. At ground level, vehicles flow around the fountain plaza while pedestrians flow into the buildings around it. Below ground, at the Fountain Terrace, all the buildings are interconnected by shops and restaurants. The complex is also connected to its neighbors by both underground and street-level pedestrian linkways.
