Terry Muscat Announces Legal Actions: Bajd U Bejken Team

May 8 2025 Share

From a Facebook post this morning Terry Muscat announced legal action against, Bajd u Beckon Team.

In a Facebook live last week, Muscat stated that the team had crossed a line and emphasised that satire should not come at the expense of someone’s dignity. “Satire is not an excuse for degradation,” she said. “Freedom of expression should go hand-in-hand with respect for every individual’s dignity.”

Terry has proposed a resolution: all proceeds from the 1,200 tickets sold for the show should be donated in full to the charity Puttinu Cares, without any deductions for costs. “This will be a lesson they deserve,” she stated.

Muscat added that, if the Bajd u Bejken team agrees to these conditions, she is open to meeting in person to clear the air.

Meanwhile, podcast member JD Patrick has announced he is stepping away from Bajd u Bejken.

“Bajd u Bejken has always been rooted in comedy,” JD said. “While the intent was never to offend, I understand that not everyone will interpret humour the same way. I genuinely regret if anything said during the show caused hurt or discomfort to anyone, and for that, I offer my heartfelt apologies.”

As of now, no official response to Terry’s statement has been issued by the Bajd u Bejken team.

May 7 2025 Share

JD Patrick, co-host of the popular and controversial Maltese dark humour podcast Bajd u Bejken, has officially stepped down following backlash over transphobic jokes made about prominent activist Terry Muscat, also known as Terry Ta’ Bormla.

The controversy stirred significant public reaction, leading Patrick to announce his resignation via a Facebook post.

“Due to the recent backlash, I’ve made the decision to step away from the Bajd u Bejken podcast,” he wrote, thanking the team, Patreons, and fans for their support.

While affirming that the show’s intentions were never to offend, he acknowledged that humour is subjective and apologised for any hurt caused.

The Bajd u Bejken team responded briefly but warmly on social media, saying, “Man down… we love you brother.”

It remains unclear what the podcast’s future will look like, with the team promising an update in the coming days.

May 7 2025 Share

Minister for the Environment Miriam Dalli visited Birżebbuġa Primary School as part of WasteServ’s ongoing educational campaign aimed at promoting environmental awareness and responsible waste disposal among students.

The initiative, which includes schools across Malta, focuses on teaching children how to properly dispose of electronic waste and recyclables.

Minister Dalli engaged with students through interactive, hands-on activities such as games and storytelling, helping them understand how their daily choices impact the environment. The visit aimed to make sustainability education both fun and impactful.

She praised the efforts of WasteServ and school staff, stating, “Educating our children on sustainability is one of the most effective ways to secure a greener, safer future for all.”

The visit also highlighted WasteServ’s broader commitment to safety, including its recent investment in a dedicated fire engine.

This move comes in response to the increasing risks posed by the improper disposal of electronic waste, which can lead to dangerous fires if not handled correctly.

The public is urged to use Civic Amenity Sites or WasteServ’s Roadshow Truck for safe disposal of electronics. This initiative reflects Malta’s growing emphasis on environmental responsibility through education, infrastructure, and community outreach.

European Parliament Approves Water Resilience Strategy Led by Maltese MEP Thomas Bajada

May 7 2025 Share

The European Parliament has overwhelmingly approved the landmark Water Resilience Strategy, with a resounding absolute majority.

The strategy was spearheaded by Maltese MEP Thomas Bajada, who served as rapporteur on his first major report since taking office.

Bajada’s report places water at the heart of Europe’s environmental and social agenda, highlighting the urgent need to protect and manage clean, safe water as it becomes increasingly scarce across the continent.

In his address to Parliament, Bajada stressed that droughts, floods, and water crises are no longer isolated issues—they are a shared European reality.

The strategy calls for clean water security, public health safeguards, and sustainable food systems, while promoting European solidarity with regions most affected by water challenges.

One of the key achievements of the final text is a strengthened commitment to phasing out PFAS—harmful “forever chemicals”—from all non-essential uses.

“This is a victory for public health over politics,” Bajada said, calling for immediate action from the European Commission.

Drawing on Malta’s longstanding experience with water scarcity, he urged Europe to act now: “Water is life, and it is our duty to protect it—for our people, their health, and their future.”
