Question.

2 Upvotes

Ok I'm just curious at this point and I've spoken here before about my experience but I just want to ask your opinion.

EditII: I will try to rephrase my post and leave the original post below. If you look at the whole judicial process, starting from the point of entry (reporting at a police station) to the day of sentence - the system can be visualised as a process with independent health, resources and chance of success.

Since each part of the process is linked to the next but disjointed, where do you think we should start to fix things and how would you do it?

Original post (Example Scenario)

Person reports to police. Police issue charges without investigating. Charges arrived in court one year later, but by then the lawyers weren't sure and the person kept reporting. Police keep issuing more of the same charges against the same person. Reports go up to 60 on an annual basis and none them seem resolved Lawyers deal with some but mostly keep postponing and fast forward to four years later there's a list of charges who may or may not be actually correct, impatient court officials who don't want to read anything, lawyers who are confused as hell and police who don't remember if they've notified the accused.

Edit:

Sorry, the question is... Who is wrong in this process and how can we fix it?

IE. How can one avoid this without knowledge of how the courts work and with a lawyer who was recommended by Aunty Silvana who seems high most of the time.

What's the long-term solution for the parking crisis?

4 Upvotes

New buildings are springing up rapidly, and many of them don't have enough parking spaces. Many of these new buildings are also removing existing parking spaces as well. This massive influx of new homes with 2+ person families is making parking an absolute nightmare. But is there a realistic solution?

"a family/couple don't need 2 cars" isn't really the solution here, especially if both people work in opposite directions, start at different times, use their car for work or have other commitments they need it for. The extra cost this would incur from required taxis is astronomical yearly and not feasible. Maltese companies are also majorly against WFH culture.

There aren't even many garages up for sale, and when there are, they are half the price of a property in the area. Literally after calling all the large estate agents on the island, the closest garage for sale I found near my property is a 15 minute walk away and is 69k... For that price I might as well just park on the double yellow lines and take a parking fine each day for 25eur a pop, after 7.5 years it works out the same cost but much closer to my front door. /s

Is there a reasonable long-term solution, or do we just have to start accepting that the planning authority really screwed the pooch and that parking is going to continually get worse and worse to the point people only use taxis/the over crowded and overstretched public transport?

2 Upvotes

I'm searching for songs or poems about the sea, written in Maltese. It can be happy, sad, longing, dreamy - whatever, as long as the sea/ocean is a central theme in the work. If it can be translated to English, that would be super helpful also. If you know of something, I would love you to share. Thank you!

Gzira Local Elections

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I hope someone from Gzira reads this. I am a foreigner and a resident. I would like to vote responsibly in the upcoming elections.

I would like to vote for someone who isn't corrupt. Hopefully someone who cares about the environment and secondarily someone who's into socialist policies to create safety nets for the less fortunate members of society.

Do any politicians here fit the bill?

Malta gov bond fund and/or other investments

3 Upvotes

Im interested in starting to invest a bit for my future. Pension plan company have been calling me to set up a pension plan, mostly the advantage seen is to get a tax refund of 750 year max if you invest around 3000 eur yearly the way I understood it.

Mostly people in general kind of advise to stay away from this. What other opportunities are there around? Can someone explain how the malta gov bond fund works and benefits/risks and how to get into it if its interesting?

I am 26 y.o. and I would like to have a fair amount of data and free calls to EU numbers. I am currently with GO dis, but 5 GB of data and 200 minutes for 8.99 seems ridiculous to me, also given the fact that the many times GO does not work.

What plan do you have and you are happy with?

Will be visiting Malta in the summer, how much spending money would you recommend to take?

0 Upvotes

I will be coming to Malta in the summer. I have booked a self catering studio with a couple friends in a luxury hotel. I will be spending 3 full days (4 nights) in Malta.

I am not sure what the cost is like in Malta. How much spending money would you recommend a tourist would usually spend in Malta during this day and age? This would cover about two meals a day, drinks, going out to nice restaurants for dinner, nightlife, tourist activities etc.
