Year of the pig

I subscribe to Berita Malaysia, a Yahoo group where you get news often not found in the normal newspaper. Today, while reading through the digest, I came across this and thought I would copy-paste an extract from a report from Imran Imtiaz Shah Yacob, a broadcast journalist and trained lawyer:

"The Feng Shui faithful will tell you that according to Chinese
astrology, people born in year of the pig are born lucky. Hence, many
Chinese chose to have their babies this year. It is perhaps also for
these children that their parents will fight for a better future. And
if luck has anything to do with it, they will live in a nation that is
at peace with its very diversity and secure from racial
discrimination."
