Many asked whether it was a good idea to split the supporters with the use of just barriers whereas others questioned how the Haifa supporters were able to bring in flares into the stadium.

The latter was found more concerning given how the Maltese supporters are always checked during the whole season and why this was not done on the away fans.

Maltese football fans are thus calling for further security during such high end games in order to avoid further tragedy. 

The area that was attacked during the match was the VIP area, which usually seats children along with family members of the players, media and press as well as elderly persons.

Some supporters are also arguing against the fact that the game should not have kept going and that Hamrun Spartans should have been awarded the win. 

What do you make of this?

Burger King Thailand Release 20 Cheese Slice Burger

Burger King Thailand Release 20 Cheese Slice Burger
Jul 12 2023 Share

Depending on whether you love cheese or hate it, this could be heaven or a nightmare for you.

On Sunday, Thailand’s Burger King launched the ‘real cheeseburger’, a patty-less sandwich which makes up for the meatless-ness with 20 slices of processed American cheese. 

That’s it – just cheese and two buns. No other ingredients like lettuce, tomato, pickles, sauces… nothing. Just cheese. 

The menu item is apparently part of a trend in Thailand where cheese is placed on literally everything, and the burger quickly gained vitality on social media for its bizarre serving status.

Posting on social media, Burger King Thailand wrote that ‘this is for real! Real cheeseburger from Burger King! Carrying up to 20 slices of American cheese!!! Price is 109 only (from normal 380).’ 

Would you try something like this?

After the 15,000 signature milestone was reached on a petition created by Isabelle Bonnici, the grieving mother of Corradino construction victim Jean Paul Sofia, she released a video thanking the public for their constant support and appealing for more signatures.

The petition now has a goal of 25,000 signatures, with 17,553 signed as of time of this writing. 

This comes hours before parliament is expected to vote on whether the inquiry will shift from a magisterial inquiry into a public one – a goal many activists and members of the Opposition have been appealing for. 

In her video statement, Isabelle said that Malta and Gozo’s workers need to be protected and that she does not want to have any other parent grieve in the way she is. 

If you wish to support, you can find the petition here.

According to newly released information by the Malta International Airport, June became the third consecutive month to register more than 700,000 passenger movements. 

The first half of 2023 concluded on a positive note for our airport as a total of 754,258 passenger movements were registered throughout the month of June. 

This is a substantial increase of 4.5% over the passenger traffic handled during the same 2019 month, ending the quarter with a successful rate of passenger movements.

Meanwhile, traffic through the airport peaked on the 29th of June as 30,419 departing and arriving passengers were registered, taking advantage of ‘the four-day bridge weekend that coincided with the end of the academic year for most educational institutions in Malta.’

Italy retained its top spot of Malta International Airport’s market leaderboard, with a market share of 24.5% for June. This was followed by the UK, Germany, France and Spain respectively. 

The year-to-date traffic rose to 3,434,470 passenger movements, exceeding the traffic volumes handled during the first half of 2019 by 5.6%.
