Hundreds recall memories of infamous Havana staircase in club’s recent post

Feb 13 2022

A recent social media post by beloved Paceville nightclub has gone viral for all the right reasons after showing a snapshot of its infamous staircase. The club in question, Havana Club Malta, has a decade-spanning reputation for its banging hip-hop soundtrack, its bar-dangling monkey accessory and of course… the ever-iconic staircase.

Hundreds of partygoers, former and current, took to the comment section of Havana’s post, tagging their friends and recalling the multiple nights of drunken revelry without a single care in the world. One comment in particular likened the staircase to a water park’s slide while others sarcastically requested payment for the countless time they involuntarily cleaned the staircase themselves.

Back in January, Malta Daily had been informed that Havana was scheduled for a massive revamp and will remain closed until April. Sources have confirmed that the club will rock a brand new look when it reopens in a few months.

Do you have any staircase memories?

The emergence of the viral trend can be traced as far back as 2019, with Instagram influencers Kylie and Kendall Jenner posting a now-deleted photo in swimwear during their snowboarding vacation in Aspen, Colorado. Thousands of internet personalities followed the trend soon after. It is also tradition in places like Lapland to strip down into swimwear amid the snowy environment, with various celebrities making the headlines for the bold move.

Joseph Muscat not ruling out contesting general election in five years’ time

Feb 13 2022

Former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has not completely excluded the possibility of contesting the general election in five years’ time, and if he does, it will be under the Labour ticket.

This was revealed during Muscat’s recent interview on Lovin Malta, where he said that he will not be part of the 2022 election but plans to leave the door open for a foray into politics if the opportunity arises. “We don’t even know when this election is taking place, let alone when the next one is taking place. It’s very far away”, he said.

Muscat also confirmed that he plans to return to his roots and contest with the Labour Party. He does not plan to set up any third parties, highlighting that not even Dom Mintoff managed to do it, “let alone Joseph Muscat.” The former Prime Minister went on to say that he could not destroy something he helped build and committed half of his life to.

With regards to the upcoming election, Muscat expects a PL majority similar to that of 2017, but outlined that the PL should not take another big victory for granted.

What do you make of these statements?
