Labour MP Omar Farrugia, the youngest member of Prime Minister Robert Abela’s cabinet, celebrates his 29th birthday today.
Omar Farrugia is the current Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works after having been elected for the first time in the 2022 election.
Despite being the youngest member of cabinet, Omar is not the youngest member of Malta’s parliament, with that being Nationalist MP Eve Borg Bonello.
On behalf of MaltaDaily, we wish Omar Farrugia a happy birthday!

A collaborative seabed clean-up in Fekruna Bay by Ambjent Malta and Professional Diving School Association saw 110kg of marine litter collected.
Images of the collected waste were shared to Ambjent Malta’s social media, showing the plastic and other materials which were found laying at the bottom of the sea in the oft frequented bay.
The organisation emphasised the importance of safeguarding marine environments from such litter due to its hazardous impact on fauna and flora as well as Malta’s environmental landscape.
