Alicia Bugeja Said first Maltese woman to give birth whilst Member of Cabinet

Feb 27 2023

Alicia Bugeja Said, who is currently acting as Parliamentary Secretary for Fishing, Aquaculture and Animal Rights, has just become the first woman in Malta to give birth whilst being a Member of the Maltese Cabinet.

Bugeja Said took to Facebook to post an adorable photo of her finger being grasped by her newborn baby girl.

‘Today was the most beautiful day of our lives as a new family member joined us and made us parents’ wrote the Parliamentary Secretary on Sunday.

‘I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart the Mater Dei team for their work and dedication, as well as all of those who showed support during this voyage, especially my husband Malcolm’ she said.

‘It’s a girl’ she finished off her post saying. As Bugeja Said continues to recuperate, it bodes well to note that she kept attending to her duties until the very last few moments which her pregnancy allowed her. This showed Bugeja Said’s dedication to her work in government and should be very much applauded!

On behalf of MaltaDaily, we congratulate Alicia, Malcolm and all their loved ones for their new family member!

Jake Paul calls for rematch after losing fight against Tommy Fury

Feb 27 2023

Following a split decision which cost him his fight against Tommy Fury, Jake Paul has issued a call for a rematch when speaking in an interview post-fight.

The 26-year-old boxer, who rose to popularity as a YouTuber, said: ‘All respect to Tommy. He won, judge me by my wins judge me by my losses.’

‘I don’t know if I agree with the judges. It is what it is but that is the boxing world. I have won in every single way already in life. I have made it further than I ever would’ve thought.’

He went on to say that, despite getting really sick twice and injuring his arm, he won’t make any excuses. ‘It was just tough in this camp. 100% let’s run it back.’

The match, which came after years of anticipation, was hosted in Saudi Arabia after the pair were scheduled to fight in December 2021 until Fury opted out due to an injury. It was then rescheduled for 2022 but Fury was unable to get to the USA.

As the two came together at press events, Paul even apologised for leaking the information of the birth of Fury’s daughter, giving her a little gift in the meantime.
