Astrologer in pink carpet tip

An astrologer has said that pink carpets and mats should be placed in south-facing doorways to ward off conflict.

Speaking at the start of the Chinese Year of the Tiger, feng shui expert Gan Wai Kwang claimed that this is necessary due to the number three star being located to the south, Malaysia's Star Online reports.

He said: "To reduce friction, place a pink carpet (avoid placing anything green) in the south entrance of government buildings."

Those owning houses or offices that face south should invest in pink doormats, he stated.

Mr Kwang's comments were among a number of pieces of advice given to followers of the tradition, with various experts predicting that astrological forces could bring either good or bad tidings for various nations and people.

Someone else who has been linked with pink carpets is Katie Price.

The glamour model, who has lost lucrative magazine deals following her marital split from Peter Andre, is reportedly planning to invest in property and develop a boutique hotel where everything will be pink, including fluffy carpets.
