Zebra Crossings Go Pink To Raise Awareness On Cancer

Oct 2 2024

On October 1st, some of Malta’s zebra crossings turned pink to raise awareness for Pink October-Movember, a nationwide campaign dedicated to highlighting the most common female and male cancers.

The Zebras Go Pink initiative kicked off with a symbolic walk across the freshly painted pink and white zebra crossing on the Cospicua promenade steps, led by Chair and Campaign Leader Michelle Muscat, Transport Malta CEO Kurt Farrugia, Mr. Michael Cohen, and the mayors of Senglea, Cospicua, Vittoriosa, and Kalkara.

In her statement, Michelle Muscat emphasized the significance of this educational campaign, which aims to engage and inform the public about the importance of self-examinations, proper screening techniques, and overcoming the fear that often hinders timely diagnoses.

The Pink Oct-Mov ‘24 campaign focuses on three female cancers: breast, ovarian, and cervical, as well as two common male cancers: testicular and prostate. This year’s campaign is inspired by the idea of discovering the inner strength to move forward positively.

Families Feel Unsafe as Police Stations in Key Localities Remain Closed

Oct 2 2024

The police stations in San Ġwann, Msida, Swieqi, Ħal Għargħur, and Gżira remain closed, affecting approximately 55,000 residents in these growing localities.

During a press conference, Shadow Minister for Home Affairs Darren Carabott and Shadow Minister for Family and Social Security Albert Buttigieg alleged that these closures are impacting public safety, leading to rising concerns over vandalism, theft, and other security issues.

The closures have also reportedly placed additional pressure on nearby police stations in Sliema and St Julian’s, which are struggling to meet the heightened demands. While Community Police are working hard, they are allegedly unable to fully replace the services of dedicated stations.

The Partit Nazzjonalista has called on Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri and Police Commissioner Angelo Gafà to prioritize reopening the stations, claiming that this is essential for ensuring residents’ safety.
