APS Bank has withdrawn from the bidding process for the acquisition of HSBC Malta. It made the announcement in a company statement issued on the stock exchange, citing that 'confidential...

latest comment from odomos, 18/04/2025 11:32: "However, confidential information external to the due diligence exercise has caused the Bank to reconsider its participation in the sale process. Consequently, the Bank's Board of Directors has decided that, at the present time, it is in the best interests of the Bank's shareholders, employees and customers to withdraw." This "confidential information external to the due diligence exercise" needs further clarity in my opinion. But truth is so very savage!

Sant urges government to ‘enshrine right to assisted dying in legislation’

Former Labour Prime Minister and PL leader Alfred Sant is urging the government to "enshrine the right to assisted dying in legislation as promised in its electoral programme". This has already...

latest comment from Joe Tabone Adami, 18/04/2025 05:20: Not very sound to equate putting down a pet with assisting a loved person to die, however peacefully and willingly this happens. You can always get a new pet, possibly within days, by adopting one or buying one fairly easily and, in some instances, at no great cost. I myself have had a series of losses of a pet canary, which I 'replaced' at the earliest opportunity and at little expense. But you can never replace a grandparent, a parent, a sibling or a wife/husband whom you have been loving all or most of your life - certainly not by purchasing a new one!
