The creator is currently on a world tour to create short 1-minute explainers about various countries. He began his Malta tour with a video about Malta’s WWII bombing.

But the second video came as a surprise to many other people, as Nas, real name Nuseir Yassin, explained how the wrongly attuned clock is purposefully wrong to confuse the devil from interrupting mass.

The video also highlighted that the island has upwards of 300 churches, with a church in every square kilometre. Nas will continue to create videos about the islands, highlighting various spots and potentially attracting new tourists to the islands given his massive follower reach.

Maltese MEP David Casa also took to social media, having been part of the leading force in negotiating for this legislation.

‘The Climate Social Fund is now European law’ said Casa. ‘The negotiations I have been engaging in to see the Maltese and Gozitans being rewarded €60 million, 10 times more than the funds being planned, have come to an end.’

Casa said that this will help invest in electric vehicles, solar panels, better insulation and other eco-friendly, sustainable measures all over Europe.
