Racist Hate Comments Flood Love Island's Clinton Comments
May 15 2024 Share

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 Share

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.

Taking to social media, Love Island Malta Season 1 contestant Kyle Curmi urged for compassion as the new contestants are being revealed.

‘Just remember that the Love Island contestants are not robots; they have feelings, they have families.’

‘Just because we are free to write anything we want doesn’t necessarily mean we can bully the person.’

‘Let’s be nice to people; remember these fillings take hours, and they only show a couple of seconds to engage with the audience. You will try to avoid comments, but you’ll come across some even if not wanting.’

‘Just keep in mind if that were your brother, sister, or child being laughed at, I’m sure you would not want them to be cyberbullies. These contestants go on such shows for the experience, not to be tortured with hate.’
