Today Messi had a press-conference with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Both had interesting things to say. Nasser began the conference with a speech where he stated that today was a historical and crazy day for football and that this transfer is exciting for not only PSG fans, but football fans in general.

As the press conference continued Messi also said “Leaving Barcelona was so hard. But I’m so happy to join Paris Saint-Germain, ambitious club with a top team. They’ve been so fast and serious in the negotiations immediately after Barça statement last Thursday” .  He also had this to say about the prospect of playing with Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe “I am very happy. It’s crazy. I’m going to play with the best players in the world, and that’s always good.”

This summer, PSG have arguably had the best transfer window a club has had in the history of the game. This summer, the Parisians have been compared to Real Madrid’s Galacticos project when they signed Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos.

Aug 11 2021 Share

Leading Insurance company GasanMamo Insurance continues to support environmental projects as it donates two diving kits and diving gear for NGO Zibel. With marine debris being a well-documented issue both locally and globally, the team up prioritises initiatives which support the caring for the environment. With an estimated 224,000 metric tons of trash floating on the surface and anther 8.5 million metric tons sinking to the bottom, such initiatives are crucial in pushing for environmental awareness and protection. 

This summer alone, Zibel has collected 3.9 tonnes of waste with the diving clean ups, surfacing regular items such as car tyres and bottles and the occasional peculiar items such as thermos flasks, boat trailers and even false teeth. GasanMamo general manager Mark Mamo expressed his pleasure in collaborating once again with one of Malta’s most energetic environmental NGOs. ‘Their passion for cleaner seas creates a natural fit between our organisations, and the environmental ethos that we strive to create and support both within our organisation and our communities’ he stated.

Ċikku Fenech field to be transformed into green family area

Ċikku Fenech field to be transformed into green family area
Aug 11 2021 Share

A popular abandoned field in Mosta attributed to Ċikku Fenech will be transformed into a green open space for families to enjoy. Having been scheduled for development, the government decided to instead transform it into a ‘green lung’ within an urban setting. The size of a football ground, the project received an investment of €1 million from the Social and National Development fund, carried out by WasteServ branch GreenServ. 

The field was never opened up to the public, having been an area linked to Malta’s once most-wanted man Ċikku Fenech. Over the years, it ended up an illegal dumping site, with a rusting car being one of the most iconic items left there to waste. Parliamentary Secretary for Citizenship and Communities Alex Muscat stated that the project will seek to respect the mature trees and indigenous life which has grown in the field as the transformation commences. 

Muscat added that this is not an isolated project, but part of an investment for projects which seek to increase the green lungs of Malta. Rabat, Ħal-Qormi, Ħaż-Żabbar and Ħamrun will all be benefitting from this eco-friendly project. The Mosta project is set to be completed by spring of 2022.
