Alex Borg wants police to be more armed

Sep 5 2022

During an interview with Fabian Demicoli in the latest episode of ‘The Interview’ by MaltaDaily, PN shadow minister for Gozo Alex Borg stated that he wanted the police to be more armed and to be offered better conditions in order to make officers feel more safe and attract more people into the force.

He stated that police officers aren’t being offered suitable conditions and are being given low wages in comparison to those offered back in 2020 and before.

Borg also said that the responsibilities and workload for policemen and women have increased this past year. This has not helped the conditions to improve. Instead, even though the workload has increased, the people in charge are not respecting police officers and their work enough.

Borg went on to say that police officers should be more armed in order to make the officer feel safer in their job as well as to scare potential criminals from committing any crimes in the future.

Sister who lost baby brother fundraises €900 for Puttinu Cares

Sep 5 2022

Having just turned 6-years-old, little Hazel Magri decided to urge people to donate instead of giving her gifts.

This she did so she can help Puttinu Cares, the NGO who, among others, helped her late brother Juan after he was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour.

Juan passed away last October, and to pay tribute to both him and Puttinu Cares, Hazel managed to raise a whopping €921.50 to the Rainbow Ward at Mater Dei Hospital.

Her brother was born in August 4th 2021, but just a few weeks later, was diagnosed with the tumour. The parents revealed that the last few days of Juan were spent at the Rainbow Ward.

Speaking to Times of Malta, they revealed that the couple were very much supported by Puttinu as the family decided to live at the ward.

The NGO provided them with a kitchen, a washing machine as well as films at hospital to keep their minds occupied. And Hazel repaid the favour, helping hundreds of other kids in need in the process!
