Taking to social media, Sven wrote: ‘Dear S2 islanders, now that you’re all out my only advice is that… your eye colour does not change… you are not a chameleon!’

‘Kind regards, the Chameleon’. The post racked up a whopping 1,6K likes in 12 hours.

Back during the promos for Love Island Season 1, Sven had said that one of the things girls like most was his eyes ‘which change colour as well. Sometimes they’re grey, sometimes beige.’

Sven was not the only contestant to give out advice, with Kyle Curmi urging compassion from the audience on a more serious note, reminding them that the contestants are not robots and have feelings.

Racist Hate Comments Flood Love Island’s Clinton Comments

May 15 2024

After Clinton was revealed as one of Love Island Malta’s Season 2 contestants, a flood of racially motivated hate comments as well as other discriminatory messages were posted by various users on social media.

Some ridiculed the fact that it is called Love Island Malta and that it should have been reserved for Maltese people (despite Clinton having lived here since the age of 14).

Other comments suggested that the inclusion of Clinton would pave the way for Indian and/or non-binary contestants.

MaltaDaily stands in firm opposition to such comments and condemns all discriminatory remarks sent their way.

Many other commenters did however show their support for Clinton, expressing their support for the young rapper as he enters the villa in search of love.

New Reading Spaces For St Vincent De Paul Residents

May 15 2024

Together with the National Book Council, the Parliamentary Secretariat for Active Aging unveiled a new concept of library at San Vinċenz de Paul. This project involves the setup of three telephone booths, converted by maintenance section workers, now serving as places where residents can borrow books.

These libraries are located in areas regularly frequented by residents and their relatives. They house over 200 books in Maltese and English, donated by the National Book Council.

Parliamentary Secretary Malcolm Paul Agius Galea expressed satisfaction with this initiative. “This library not only promotes reading among our elderly but also provides space for more interaction and mental activities, crucial for the well-being of every individual. We thank the National Book Council for providing these resources, which will continue to promote reading and mental activity among the elderly.”

National Book Council Executive Director Mark Camilleri spoke about the importance of making books accessible to vulnerable communities. With this new concept, San Vinċenz de Paul continues to expand its range of activities, with a strong emphasis on promoting reading and active aging.
