Most Maltese Ask Family For Help Not Friends Or Colleagues

Jun 6 2025

According to the latest State of the Nation study, most people in Malta share their problems with the people they live with.

A massive 61.6% said they always talk to their close family when something is wrong. But guess who came last?

Workmates. In 2025, a shocking 57.4% said they never go to their colleagues for help with personal problems.

The study also showed that when it comes to big life decisions – like marriage, children, career, or school – people still turn to one group the most: family.

An incredible 76.4% said they speak to family before making a big choice.

But here’s the twist – nearly half the people (48.4%) said they sometimes make major life decisions on their own, without asking anyone.

Only 1.4% said they turn to their work colleagues when making important choices. That’s almost no one.

So what are the biggest decisions people in Malta say they’ve made in their lives? Most named marriage, kids, job paths and education as the top ones.

This report makes one thing clear: family is still the heart of Maltese life. Whether it’s for advice or support, it’s who you live with that matters most.

Sant’Antnin Park Regeneration Project: Phase 1 Kicks Off

Jun 6 2025

The Ministry for the Environment, through WasteServ, has launched the first phase of a transformative €37 million greening project that will convert 23,800 square metres of land into a green public space.

“This project clearly reflects the Government’s commitment to a more sustainable Malta. As we’ve done in other areas, we are creating open green spaces that contribute to a better environment and, more importantly, offer enjoyable areas for the public. This time, we’re turning a former waste facility into a public park — fulfilling another promise from our electoral programme,” said Environment Minister Miriam Dalli.

The project is taking place at the site of the former Sant’Antnin waste facility, where operations ended in December 2022.

WasteServ has since dismantled equipment and prepared the site. Phase one, valued at around €4 million, includes a three-storey car park with park-and-ride services, three water reservoirs for irrigation and rainwater collection, and a 4,200 square metre artificial pond aimed at boosting biodiversity.

Expected to be completed by early next year, this phase also features a boundary wall and landscaping with mature trees and native shrubs. WasteServ will reuse 33% of the excavated material in line with its sustainability goals.

A €33 million second phase will follow, adding further landscaping, a water filtration system, exhibition areas, a learning centre, greenhouse with aquaponics, and a food court.

CEO Richard Bilocca confirmed an additional €500 million investment in Magħtab to further mitigate the long-standing environmental impacts on local residents.
