In reply to Snoopy. Oh lordy, here we go again. Ground-breaking research in what? Designing electrical fittings? Describing the Maltese two-tailed lizard? Singing at the Metropolitan?

Imagine what unpleasant surprises the upcoming November budget will hold, given the EU action on the deficit, and considering that their idea of cost-cutting is switching off the eternal flame at the cenotaph.

Completely unrelated question. JM had promised sick leave for mothers who had to stay home with their sick kids. When is that going to be put in place or is it just another empty promise?

In reply to gil.

That sweeping statement is highly unfair to the large number of graduands who have made to top positions in various countries and to others who stayed in Malta and yet lead ground-breaking research.

The problem is that most of these take a backbench role when it comes to publicity of their work, while enjoying the full esteem of their colleagues outside Malta.

I shall not mention names for fear of leaving someone out, but just perform a Google scholar search with Malta as the keyword and you might be surprised. And most of this research work done with the grand total of around 500 to 1000 euros grant per year.

It is not just “China that we are talking about”. It is also about Joseph Muscat’s style of governing promising one thing in the election run up but acting differently after being elected. Need we be reminded of the promise of “Malta Taghna Lkoll”

In reply to maryanne. As if! This is the previous administration's work. It is impossible that something so technical was concluded in such a short period of time and judging by their first few weeks in government mutual degree recognition is not on their priority to-do list, however, I guess it could be a good ice breaker ...
