Jan 19 2021

After years of studying Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, Maltese engineer Amy Markham has found herself where most students aspire to be, working with one of the world’s leading tech giants Siemens.

Previously also interning at Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace, she has landed a job working on CFD visualisation with the tech company, all whilst finishing her degree.

It is so refreshing to see locals making strides beyond our shores and putting Malta on the map – wishing Amy best of luck in her career path!

Maya took to Facebook to shed a light on the shocking nature of this situation by quoting the exact words of parents from the opposite team.

That a young sportswoman is abused because of her skin colour cannot remain “the reality of being an athlete in #Malta”. Together we will build a society where everyone is treated with #respect and where #discrimination fades in the oblivion it deserves – RA

The Malta Football Association released a statement expressing solidarity with the player and that it is currently investigating the incident, along with the police.

Meanwhile, opposing team Mosta FC could face a €17,000 fine and point-deduction within the league due to the racist attacks.

This should not be the state of our country in 2021, let Maya’s situation be a catalyst for change and growth in our country.

Our thoughts are with Maya Lucia – NO TO RACISM, now and forever.
