Jan 9 2025

During the past week, Transport Malta enforcement officers responded to 23 incidents involving vehicle collisions or damage. Among these, two collisions resulted in injuries.

This was all revealed in a Facebook post, posted by Transport Malta highlighting recent enforcement unit response time.

The enforcement officers’ median response time was less than 18 minutes, reflecting their prompt intervention in handling such situations.

Drivers are urged to remain vigilant and practice safe driving habits. Taking necessary precautions can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and contribute to making the roads safer for everyone.

Additionally, drivers who need to report an incident can do so by sending a private message to Transport Malta or by using the TM Alert app, available for download on the App Store or Google Play.

Free Gym Membership For Youth Scheme Set To Roll Out Soon

Jan 9 2025

The government will soon launch a scheme offering six months of free gym membership to youths aged 18 to 20, with costs fully covered as part of a Budget initiative.

The initiative was inspired by a proposal from Bulletproof Culture, a fitness group that campaigned for free gym memberships for all 18-year-olds.

Finance Minister Clyde Caruana then went on to announce it during the 2025 Budget reading.

Bulletproof released a video explaining how the scheme will end up working;

Eligible individuals, born in 2005, 2006, or 2007, will be able to register online once a list of participating gyms is finalised.

Under the scheme, youths can choose their preferred gym from approved providers. After registering, participants will receive a voucher granting them free access for six months.

The group had launched the idea by sharing a video of Prime Minister Robert Abel, a former bodybuilder, working out to promote the idea.

Malta’s high obesity rates, with forecasts suggesting over a third of adults will be obese by 2030, make this scheme timely.
