The centrepiece of this fountain is a doughnut shaped sculpture spewing water towards the centre of the fountain. It looks a bit ugly to me and it’s not much to look at during the day. It’s lit up at night, but given it’s ugliness during the day, I didn’t bother to see what it would look like at night.

To average person it's just a huge shower to cool off in the heat or a dancing fountain like any other tourist attraction but it's deeply philosophical and heavily symbolic.
This four legged, spider shaped, War of the World alien invasion kind sculpture is based on Chinese principles Feng shui. In Chinese culture water is a symbol of life and wealth. And when its falling inwards like in this fountain, it means money rolling in instead of going out. Simply put so the Suntec City can remain happy and wealthy ever after.
Design of this fountain is also influenced by Hindu philosophy mandala. It's shaped like a ring in left hand and if you look at it from above, it's surrounded by 5 buildings that act like 5 fingers. The four pillars represent the four major religions of the country and the bronze material it's made of is also linked to prosperity.
It all somehow translates into the whole universe and shows the unity, equality and harmony of all people in Singapore. As a added bonus, they perform a daily ritual when they turn off the water and let people go around it 3 times for good luck so they can share some of Suntec City's wealth too.

This is not a tourist attraction must do but if you are in the area you may as well stop and have a look.
I could not be bothered waiting in line for ages just to walk around inside the fountain when it was shut down.
Easier just to look from street level.
I didn't think much of the Suntec Centre in general as the cigarette butts and general rubbish laying around was very un Singapore.

Walked for a while to go there and found that it closed for renovation. Cannot go inside!!. It will be available again around June so if you go before that period this can waste your time.

The Fountain of Wealth, truly the centre of attraction at Suntec City Mall, has apparently been listed in the Guinness Book of Records in 1998 as the largest fountain in the world. Now, that by itself should command attention. However if you're still not impressed, here are more facts about this striking water attraction:
1. The water in this fountain flows INWARD - we understand that apart from water being the symbol of life and wealth in Chinese culture, the inward flow symbolises riches pouring in!
2. The five towers of the Suntec City Mall are designed to symbolize the five fingers of the left hand - the 'ring' of the fountain sitting in the middle of the 'palm' symbolizes (you guessed it!) wealth!
3. The fountain's circular ring is supported by four large slanted columns that give it a kind of dramatic visual impact rarely seen in fountains.
4. As travellers of Indian origin, we are gratified to note that the fountain is based on the Hindu 'mandala' or universe, and symbolizes the oneness of spirit, the harmony and unity of multi-racial Singapore - now that is a truly beautiful thought...
SUGGESTIONS:
1. While the fountain is operational from 9am through 10pm daily, it is truly at its best - when it is nothing sort of a multimedia water extravaganza with laser beams, music and fine misty spray - only after 6pm...so try and be there around then.
2. There are three laser shows (where laser breams are projected onto the misty spray from the fountain with accompanying background music) which happen every day at 8pm, 8.30pm and 9pm. These are well worth seeing and so recommended.
3. We were told that since it is considered a symbol of hope and good luck there are many who come to touch the fountain waters to take in the positive "qi" . These "touch water" sessions happen pretty much throughout the day except between 12pm-2pm, 6pm-7pm and 8pm-9.30pm
4. The other major highlight (now this can really impress your significant other I should think!!) at the fountain is Song Dedications that can be done between 8pm - 9.30pm on all days of the week. A little more dramatic are the Laser Message Dedications which can be done 8pm - 9.30pm but only on Friday through Sunday.
5. Don't miss the refreshing, soothing Koi pond at Basement 1 in the Tropics Zone of Suntec Mall. Fish feed is available for SG$2 per packet, and it is almost therapeutic to feed the colourful fish to the music of water flowing softly in the background.

With the opening the Marina Bay Sands with its nightly light & sounds display just minutes walk away...this attraction is somewhat dated...quite entertaining for the 1st timers , being world's biggest fountain. But the novelty wears off pretty fast...it's free, so just catch it as part of the Marina Bay experience...

Let's grab a touch of reality - this is something big to check out at a shopping mall.
It is the world's biggest fountain and when you approach from ground level it is pretty big, then you see that it actually starts from below ground you get an idea of how huge this is.
The show in the evening is a free thing and while I wouldn't race in a taxi to get there just to see it again, if you are going to Suntec City in the evening go and check it out. Maybe do it before the Sentosa Fountains if you are going there too.
Putting this in perspective, I will be in Singapore with my family (young kids) next month and shopping, dinner and the fountain will be on the itinerary for an evening's activities.

During the day the main part of the fountain (the big ring) isn't running - you can go out and put your hand in the little center section and walk around for luck. The night light show they talk about is pathetic. A few colored lights and the laser is used mainly to write dedications that noone else cares about. Don't waste your time with that.
Particularly after the fountain show on Sentosa I was expecting something better. This was the biggest disappointment in the whole country.

yes, it is free entrance.
It is claimed that visitors to Suntec City, who walk around the central base of the Fountain three times and touching the water at all times, would gain some good luck of their own.
"i did that" 😄😄😄
