Mohamed Salah immortalised in new Madame Tussauds statue

Oct 22 2021

After what some have been calling the best season of his career, Mohamed Salah has been immortalised in quite a unique way after having a wax replica of himself erected in Madame Tussauds in London. The popular wax museum and tourist attraction inaugurated the Liverpool star’s statue on Friday.

Salah has been in close contact with Madame Tussauds’ team of artists in recent weeks in order to have his measurements taken to ensure a completely accurate and identical portrayal of his resemblance. The figure can be found in the museum’s “Awards Party” zone together with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Brad Pitt, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and David and Victoria Becham, amongst others.

Many have been calling Salah ‘the best player in the world’ after a stellar season with Liverpool, scoring one jaw-dropping goal after the other through stellar movement and precise shots, with even Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp going as far as saying that Mohamed Salah is better than Ronaldo and Messi.

Malta to undergo national survey to pave the way for metro system

Oct 22 2021

With the subject of Malta’s metro system becoming a heated point of national discussion, Transport Minister Ian Borg has revealed that a household survey will be conducted to analyse the nation’s travel patterns and hopefully pave the way for alternative transport, including the metro itself.

The Minister stated that decisions as large as the implementation of the metro system require heavy research and analysis, which data will refined the decisions surrounding the metro proposal. The National Transport Household survey is held every 10 years and will be done digitally through a collaboration between the National Statistics Office (NSO) and the Transport Ministry.

Such a survey will highlight Malta’s travel patterns and behaviour and will contribute to the introduction of policies and measures within Malta’s Transport Master Plan update by 2030. The master plan will be an essential part of Malta’s journey towards meeting the European Union’s environmental targets.
