latest comment from onDmove, 27/04/2024 07:22: Is this innocent's death any less tragic than that of the 7th of October? the only difference is that on that day 1,200 people died, whilst in the following six months thousands upon thousands of innocent lives were bombed out of existence. THAT is Jewish justice for you!

latest comment from mario mifsud, 26/04/2024 14:20: This case should be investigated by appointing a public inquiry led by a judge to stop these abuses in the field of construction and property, including safeguards to stop the fraudulent purchase of property for demolition, including the participation of persons from the notarial profession. Any such cases already reported to the authorities should be included in the terms of reference of this inquiry so that a holistic picture of what is happening can be established. This inquiry should take into consideration the conclusions of the Sofia Inquiry, but extend its remit also to the fraudulent purchase of a property in order to demolish it and the Floriana case.

latest comment from John, 27/04/2024 06:15: Dubious decision. Surely if KM is operating on commercial lines government can only issue a subsidy which a passenger can use with any airline operating to and from Malta ? Those meddling politicians already gave us a failed airline. We won’t need another failed airline.

latest comment from Gerard Wirth, 27/04/2024 12:45: One would have anticipated Architects having ben trained in the Arts functional design and appreciation of he Environment as part of their chosen profession they would only act to the betterment of the whole and ensure by their practice that 'ugliness' is spoken but not seen. We see the total opposite - many ask Why are our Architects designing such ugliness? Why do they create obvious new buildings in a distasteful manner? The profession of Architecture is a science of appreciation of the beauty and creation. A suggestion please start practicing your god given gifts to the positive.
