Serving Can’t? Short Clips Malta Chips In On Eurovision Dilemma

Mar 12 2025

A video shared to TikTok by ‘Short Clips Malta’ took a linguist explaining how, in British, some sounds are removed in certain words.

When it comes to the word ‘can’t’, the ’t’ sound is sometimes removed, ending up with a word that sounds a lot more like the Maltese ‘Kant’ – you know, the title of Miriana Conte’s Eurovision song.

‘So what’s the problem with the song word ‘Serving Kant?’

‘Shall we do it ‘Serving Can’t’ instead, the creator asked.

Yesterday, Tuesday 11th March, marked the deadline for all countries to submit their Eurovision entry songs in their final form ahead of the contest in Basel.

It is as of yet unknown what Miriana and her team will be doing about the ban – whether they’d be changing the word entirely, proceeding with legal action, or both.

We’ll have to wait and see!

Government To Recommend Presidential Pardon For FreeHour Hackers

Mar 11 2025

As previously announced by Prime Minister Robert Abela, the Cabinet of Ministers has reviewed the case of three students and a lecturer facing criminal charges for what has been described as ethical hacking of the student app FreeHour.

The Cabinet considered the public position taken by the alleged victim, as well as the fact that, at the time of the alleged offence, Malta had no specific policies or legislation regulating the identification of security vulnerabilities within organisational systems and networks.

Given these circumstances, the Government has decided to recommend to the President that a presidential pardon be granted to the individuals involved, effectively closing the case.

Furthermore, the Government highlighted the recent introduction of Malta’s National Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Policy, which was published in December 2024 following public consultation.

This policy establishes clear guidelines for ethical hacking and aligns with the European Parliament and Council Directive on strengthening cybersecurity measures across the EU.

The lecturer and students were formally informed of this decision during a meeting with Minister for Justice and the Reform of the Construction Sector, Jonathan Attard.

Popular weather Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’ has shared striking images of the powerful storm that led to the collapse of Gozo’s iconic Azure Window eight years ago.

The photos, taken during the day in Marsalforn, showcase the intensity of the storm that battered the Maltese islands.

Towering waves crashed onto the shore, flooding roads and reaching local restaurants and apartment balconies.

The severe weather conditions serve as a reminder of the storm’s devastating impact, which ultimately caused the landmark’s destruction. The images highlight the raw force of nature that reshaped Gozo’s coastline forever.
