Imagine what one MLP glazed pottery ashtray, or the laminate faux wood wall lining from Mintoff&#039;s personal office at the palace could be worth. .

					<description><![CDATA[I had never seen this clip before, prosit, it truly is a pity you don&#039;t have a longer clip. 

The first thing that struck me is how well the Koreans were singing in Maltese. 

Then I started thinking but who the hell would actually do that.  It&#039;s either the Koreans had someone in Malta who heard this song in some meeting and said ah this must be a song to the leader so let&#039;s sing it when he comes to Malta.

Or else they must have contacted someone from the MLP and he or she told them to sing this song.  

Whatever the case you see how these people think and act and you realise that once our prime minister was part of the inner circle with these dictators. When you compare this with our current prime minister and his predecessor you realise how lucky we are.]]></description>
