According to a recent released report by the National Statistics Office (NSO), the number of reported traffic accidents in the first quarter of 2023 has reached 3,822, marking a concerning increase of 6.3% compared to the same period last year.

The report reveals that the Northern Harbour district recorded the highest number of accidents, accounting for 1,369 cases (35.8% of the total). The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that road traffic casualties have risen by 13.3% to reach 367, with 96 individuals sustaining grievous injuries. Among these, 52 were drivers, 8 were passengers, and 36 were pedestrians, cyclists, or others. Tragically, four fatalities occurred, with one driver and three pedestrians losing their lives. Although there has been a slight decrease in the number of fatalities compared to the same period last year, these incidents demand immediate attention and action.

The data highlights the disproportionate impact on males, with 77.1% of those grievously injured being male. Furthermore, all the fatalities involved males, with individuals aged between 26 to 40 representing 39.8% of the casualties. Passenger cars accounted for the largest number of road traffic casualties at 53.1%, followed by motorcycles at 34.6%. These statistics underscore the pressing need for enhanced road safety measures, increased awareness campaigns, and stricter enforcement to curb reckless driving practices and protect lives on Malta’s roads.

Timmy Reflects on Elimination: Lessons Learned and Gratitude

Jun 18 2023

After entering the Love Island villa in Malta as a bombshell contestant, Timmy Aquilina has recently spoken out for the first time since being eliminated. Sharing his thoughts and feelings, he expressed the valuable lessons he learned and the impact the Love Island experience had on him.

Timmy shared, “My time at #loveisland Malta has come to an end, and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. I have had a mix of memories and experiences that have taught me a great deal.” Reflecting on his journey, he conveyed several important lessons he discovered during his time on the show.

One lesson he emphasised was the significance of cherishing every moment. He stressed, “I’ve learned not to take time for granted because you never know what may happen. Each moment, whether good or bad, should be appreciated as it might never come back.” This realisation urged him to value each experience and embrace them wholeheartedly.

Furthermore, Timmy acknowledged the importance of family, friends, colleagues, and even his football mates. While being away from them, he missed their presence and cherished the memories they shared. He also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to form new friendships within the Love Island environment, highlighting the joy of connecting with new people.

Interestingly, the contestant discovered the freedom of living without technology, particularly taking a break from social media. He found that life could be simpler and more enjoyable when unplugged from the digital world. This realisation allowed him to appreciate the present moment and focus on personal growth.

Timmy also triumphantly overcame his insecurities during his Love Island journey. Through self-reflection and personal development, he conquered his doubts, demonstrating his strength and resilience.

In light of his experience, Timmy emphasised that life is a series of lessons rather than failures. He welcomed constructive criticism, recognising that everyone has an opinion. He sought to transform criticism into positive change and build upon the positive comments he received.

While Love Island is known as a platform for finding love, Timmy acknowledged that he didn’t find his perfect match. Nevertheless, he expressed gratitude for the support and encouragement he received from friends and family, who encouraged him to seize the opportunity. The experience helped him grow as an individual and provided him with a fresh perspective on life.

Expressing gratitude towards Love Island contestants, the production team, viewers, and everyone involved in the show, Timmy conveyed his admiration and respect. He recognised the importance of respecting others and commended their outstanding efforts.

Kindness Prevails: Police Officer’s Small Gesture Wins Hearts

Jun 18 2023

A video circulating on TikTok features a police squad attempting to park next to the police station in Valletta. The video shows that the motorbike behind the police vehicle did not notice that the police car was trying to enter the parking spot, resulting in insufficient space for the police squad to reverse into the parking bay.

To resolve the situation, one of the policemen in the car stepped out to assist in pushing back the motorbike, clearing the way for the police car to park.

Although this may seem like a minor act, it was highly appreciated by the motorbike driver and everyone who watched and commented on the video. Many viewers expressed their belief that all police officers should display kindness, friendliness, and helpfulness, similar to the officer depicted in the video.

Love Island Malta Community Facebook Group Reacts To The Use Of ‘Bello’ By Nicola

Jun 17 2023

As the last week of the first season of Love Island Malta starts tomorrow, people are bound to continue showing great interest in the show.

This brings with it opinions, rumours and questions – most of them happening on social media.

One particular post on the Facebook Group Love Island Malta Community sparked quite a reaction of comments.

We can all agree that Dale’s “Relax Bello” is the most popular quote that came out of Love Island Malta so far. This has been used all over the country, including in club mashups that were also played in foreign clubs.

Since Dale has been in the villa from day one, and since the contestants have no access to the outside world, one would think that Dale, and the other contestants don’t have a clue on how big “relax bello” has become around the island.

With this in mind, a lot of people are commenting on the fact that Nicola said “bello” to Dale during the Love Island Got Talent challenge that aired last Thursday.
