Residents strongly oppose Magħtab incinerator during public consultation meeting

latest comment from Mike Gatt, 24/04/2025 09:14: Over 75% of the time we have a North Westerly wind. Emissions will float over the majority of people and residents south east of this location that is where most people live. It’s a crap idea! This should be located on the southern most location possible and operated only when the wind is blowing the emissions offshore. That means it will not operate for perhaps 90 days in a year at worst. Why not offshore we can buy and old ship like the Buni Mediterranea or the Nikolao and put it on it.

The latter is a very common feeling - much more than that of the real or perceived existence of prosperous couples!

RS2 bids for HSBC Malta, aims to revive Mid-Med Bank brand

German fintech powerhouse RS2 has positioned itself as a serious contender to buy HSBC Malta, pledging to revive the Mid-Med Bank brand. Times of Malta reports RS2 confirmed that it had been...

latest comment from Santana, 23/04/2025 15:47: As far as I can discern, RS2 Software plc is a German technology company that primarily provides payment processing software and services to financial institutions, but it does not own or control banks directly. RS2 is known for its flagship product BankWORKS, which is a payment processing platform used by banks and financial institutions. The company offers payment solutions, processing services, and related technologies to banks and other financial service providers, but it operates as a technology provider rather than a bank owner or controller. Therefore it's acquisition of HSBC Malta, seems to be a new investment foray, for it. It remains to be seen how this technology service provider integrates a bank within it's business model.
