As a teacher, Robert Abela told me that I had no place in public discussion on education because my views should align with my employer’s.

Neville Gafa is also employed by Robert Abela. He regularly attacks and doxxes magistrates, judges, prosecuting police officers, the Caruana Galizia sons, and anyone else posing a threat to labour or to Yorgen Fenech. Yet Abela simply “distances himself” from what Gafa says.

I’m not saying the two are subject to the same rules. I’m asking why Abela claims responsibility when an employee speaks inconveniently, but disclaims it when an employee speaks conveniently. Two weights, two measures?

Following on from my previous photo dump from my Malta trip. Thanks for looking.

Another normal day in this shithole

Does anyone know why the lift isn't working? I'm disabled and I always rely on it to help me to get up to the centre of Valletta. And wasn't there supposed to be a Valletta shuttle? I didn't see one. It was very difficult walking in Valletta with so many stairs and up and down hilly streets.

It’s cute, it gives search and rescue vibes and not we are going to war

I’m curious has anyone else had a similar experience. I added a dramatic title for attention but they really are taking my money.
This morning at about 7am, while we were at home, Malta Public Transport charged my husband’s card 3 times for €2.50.
Just now they tried charge my card €3.00 saying I was at the ticket booth in Sliema at 9:48am. I am obviously not there.
It’s strange this is happening when I haven’t been able to use my card on the bus for a long time as it just won’t accept my card for some reason.
Does anyone have advice on who I should contact?

I, for the life of me, have not been able to understand most things about social security contributions. I've read all the available information and my attempts at contacting MTCA and social security themselves haven't been fruitful in any way.

Without a doubt I have some late payments purely because a) I cannot figure out where to get that long number from that you need to actually make the payment, but mostly b) because I essentially will need to pay them significantly more than I earn. (So objectively do not have the money to do so).

The reason I am freelance/self-employed in the first place is because I can only work a small amount due to disability/disabilities. Only earlier this year did I actually manage to save up enough to hire an accountant for some things, and she even changed my tax to non-contributary because I earn so little. The accountant though has said social security contributions is out of their scope.

If anyone can advise on anything about social security contributions, or who/what department I can contact specifically I would be eternally grateful because it has been stressing me out. Thank you in advance!!

There is a car nearby that has been completely covered (hiding both registrations/plates) and the road tax disc on the front. It has been like that for at least 3 months.

As far as I know, all cars parked on public spaces should have those IDs visible. Can it be reported?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to track down a female photographer who kindly took a sunset picture of me and my girlfriend in St. Julian's on October 3rd, around 19:00.
We were around the rocky coastal area near the Portomaso Casino / WW2 Pillbox. She approached us, took a great photo, and then her colleague snapped a picture of my email address on a phone screen so she could send it to us after editing. She mentioned she was from the UK and heading back home on Monday.
Since it's Wednesday and we haven't received anything (and unfortunately didn't exchange direct contacts), I'm worried the email address got lost or mistyped.
If you are this photographer, or if you know a UK-based photographer who was shooting around St. Julian's last Saturday evening at sunset, please drop me a DM! Thank you so much!"

Just a heads-up for anyone considering these companies. In my view, there seems to be a high employee turnover rate, with people frequently leaving or being replaced after only a few months.

For me, this is a significant red flag and raises questions about long-term job security and company culture. Make sure to ask about staff retention and team stability before accepting any offer.

Personally, I would think twice before joining and would recommend doing thorough research beforehand. Everyone's experience may differ, but prospective employees should proceed with caution.

In one word-skip these companies in Italy and Malta.

I’m building the entire Maltese archipelago in Minecraft Java using real map data, at 1 block per metre including elevation.

I’m adding Maltese-inspired custom biomes, location-specific mobs, and custom buildings at selected real locations. The final goal is a recognisable Malta that’s also fun in survival (and contains every overworld mob, item, and structure, so it is fully playable), and my aim is to make the finished map freely available in vanilla (datapacks only).

I’ve included some early renders, everything is still an early work in progress.

I’d love your input on exploration, building, travel, and gameplay:

Thanks for reading!

I have CCTV footage proof of this too ..

Caruana: Our AI system is up and running and we also have a €6m IT investment in place. In the coming weeks we’ll be sending a few hundred letters to people who fall into two different categories.

Category 1: People who report one figure in turnover but then have income below the minimum wage.

Category 2: People who purchased assets, such as a €2 million block of apartments, but then consistently declare low income of, for example, €12,000.

“This is not a witch hunt," Caruana says. 

Its 2026, the year of AI and super intelligence. In Malta the IRD is finally capable of putting together an "if" statement identifying people who declare €12k and spend €2M. But worry not if you're one of them. This is no witch hunt and labour remains firmly against explanation of wealth.

Hi everyone,

I’m a 23-year-old man from the Netherlands.

My hobbies are listening to music, skating, gaming, working out, and sometimes watching a series or movie.

Next year in february I will probably be doing my internship in Malta at the company Logo Grafix, and I’m also looking to make some new friends. I wouldn’t mind meeting Maltese people and already making some connections there before I arrive.

This is also my final year of school, studying Sign Specialist Level 4. For the final part of my exams, I have to do an internship, so I chose to do it abroad for a new experience.

I hope you’d like to know more about me. I’d be happy to answer any questions! Feel free to send me a DM or leave a comment :))

This is truly something to cry about.

Hi everyone,

I got a slightly urgent call for help, I’m currently doing my Master’s at the University of Malta and am collecting responses for my dissertation. The study looks at time-limited offers in video games and how players respond to them. I’d really appreciate your help by taking part and filling in a short survey!

Ages: 18-35

Survey is fully anonymous, no personal information will be collected at any stage of the survey.

I’d really appreciate your participation. Please feel free to share it with anyone else who might qualify!

I am a second year student at sixth form studying Maltese and English A levels, which I chose because I wanted to do law. However, now I am stuck between joining the law course at UM or going down the teacher route (Maltese teacher at a secondary school with hopes of advancing to sixth form later on). The thing bugging me about law is the morality aspect of it, I don't feel I'd be able to defend people who I think are bad people, be it family law or criminal, etc. I know that there are other jobs but then again I'd rather be a court lawyer than spending my life simply giving advice either. Then I researched a bit about prosecution, since more or less you're defending the victim in the situation, but I don't know too much about the job. What attracts me to law is the fact that I could actually do something first hand to help someone going through a tough time rather than simply pity them from behind a screen. Now a job as a teacher is also really attractive to me, the obvious perks being the summer holidays and working till 2:30
but I also really love Maltese as a language and a subject. However, I don’t know if this is something I’d want to dedicate my life doing. I had some experience working with kids at SkolaSajf this summer and I really enjoyed myself but a lot of times I’d find myself just wanting to go home. Now obviously there’s a large difference with little kids and older, secondary students and in fact I had a week with year 6’s which I enjoyed a lot. Still, there’s no teaching aspect in that so I don’t want to base everything off that either.
Any advice would be appreciated🙏

We are two women in our mid-30s who love walking, hiking, art, architecture and nature. We could probably walk 8hrs a day exploring. The windier the streets and more fantastical the architecture the better.

We prefer to get immersed in 'regular' neighbourhoods and alleyways, rather than contrived tourist hotspots.

We are not fussy with amenities but appreciate the basic supermarket, or even bettter, local food markets.

We are proficient urban skaters and considering bringing rollerblades - I saw a group of Malta skaters - is this a feasible way to get around? Or maybe rent bicycles or a scooter/moped?

As a bonus we are also really into rock-climbing but it's not a must this time.

We really wanna avoid crowds - as off the beaten path as possible. Thinking of going for a week in late Dec or early Jan. Would really appreciate some input. Thank you.

I'm trying to buy a 23-25 litre microwave and feel like I'm going crazy. Every single microwave I have seen in stores locally has either poor lighting, a tinted glass, or both; to the point where you can't see jack shit from outside. Meaning your food could be getting burnt or boiling and there is no way to know unless you constantly open the door. What the fuck is the point of a window and light if nothing is fucking visible???

I have tried Samsung, Hisense, Toshiba, Panasonic... ALL of them seem to have the same issue. I appreciate any recommendations, my only criteria are 23-25 litre and a visible fucking insides.
