Alex Borg wants police to be more armed

Alex Borg wants police to be more armed
Sep 5 2022 Share

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.

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!

When asked about the election result, Borg said that he respects the people’s choice and that the result shouldn’t demotivate the Nationalist party but rather open the eyes of the members to work on attracting more people to vote for them.

The 80-metre Nobiskrug yacht Artefact was recently spotted in Maltese waters, being one of the world’s first super yachts to meet IMO Tier III emissions regulations. 

This means this yacht is one of the most eco-friendly boat projects to date, boasting solar panels and a large battery storage system allowing the vessel to operate for a limited time with no internal combustion engine use. 

The yacht also has an unprecedented floor-to-ceiling glass central section complimenting 740 square meters of curved and expressive glasswork weighing almost 60 tons. 

At 2.999 GT, Artefact is now the biggest-volume 80-meter superyacht in the world. 

Intended to spearhead the future direction of yachting, ARTEFACT showcases innovative power generation technologies, digital power management, azimuth pods with dynamic positioning and full digital automation in an aesthetically striking design that frames its environment.

The lucky owner of this yacht is Mihal “Mike” Lazaridis, a businessman who made his fortune thanks to the invention of BlackBerry, the first wireless portable device on the market.
