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."

2007 is the Chinese Red Female Pig Year - Red being equivalent to the element of Fire, and Female because 2007 is a Yin Fire year.
The Pig is the 12th and final sign of the Chinese Zodiac and the New Year begins on the 18th February. 2006 was the year of the Fire Dog and was a year of structure. This year will focus on making things comfortable and finishing off unfinished projects and achieving goals. The year of the Fire Pig is meant to be auspicious bringing good fortune and prosperity. It is an excellent year to marry and have children. However it will not be a peaceful year, wars and natural disasters, particularly those connected to fire and water such as bushfires, volcanos, floods and tsunamis will occur causing the economy to blow hot and cold. Rising real estate prices will continue and homeowners and builders will do well. Fire Pig is well known for luck in money and speculation, particularly for those who share and do good deeds for the poor.
