Is Friday the 13th synonymous with bad luck ?

Friday the 13th is synonymous with superstitions and bad luck for some - so much so that some people flat-out refuse to fly, make business deals or get married on this fateful day.

As many as 21 million people in the United States are fearful of Friday the 13th, according to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, N.C., which estimates that $800 million to $900 million is lost in business every Friday the 13th because of fears of the doomed day.

But is there really a reason to be so apprehensive of a day that's technically just like any other? Of course not, scientist say. You can pick out any date on the calendar or any day in history and find some weird stuff that's happened.

But for us, tourism industry people in Malaysia, strange things are happening today. However the MTW is not prepared to expose it at this time. Just tune on to Prime News on Monday or the newspapers the next day..............You are in for a shock.
