All that swearing, ridiculous. Their vocabulary must be extremely limited, and the easiest way to argue about something is to use “haqq”, “liba”, a variety of Saints, and some other expletives, mash them up and utter them continuously.
The driver should have stopped the bus, and asked them to leave.
I am a Maltese person living in the UK. My son was recently sick on the bus here. The bus driver stopped the bus, told the passengers to get off and catch another bus, as he had to disinfect the bus. (we could use our tickets on the other bus).
The driver was not impressed but it had to be done. The people were caring and tried to help out.
I don’t think that all Maltese people act this way, just the uneducated ones.

I’m usually quite a patriotic person. But this type of attitude, and these type of people make me sick. It’s such a shame that such ignorant and close minded people still exist, and make such a bad name and image to our country.
I think of myself as a bit of a “world weary” type person due to the “what the rest of the world would class as h***holes” I find myself working in, but I have never come across this type of behaviour anywhere else, not to this degree. Strange but true.
HI DAPHNE .I LIKE READING YOUR BLOG BECAUSE IT IS MORE INTERESTING THAN ALL THE NEWSPAPERS.AND YOU REALLY MAKE ME LAUGH .WITH MOST OF YOUR REMARKS.KEEP IT UP YOU MAKE MY DAY.
How true, any chance we can change the swine? Because 20 budgets spent on education have got us nowhere, and all the worms are coming out of the cracks when they should be crawling in with embarrassment.
It seems the fat guy was empathising with the child, saying that it was an accident, that he too had taken his fair share of the vomit, but it was nothing that a little soap cannot wash away after all (he actually mentions the word sapun at 2.01). He is definitely my hero. It was the two women who were making way too much fuss.
He punctuated his argument with many supplications to the virgin mother figure, which was unfortunate, and all scared the hell out of the poor child. I’m sure they made her feel much sicker.
I bet you the child has now been thoroughly condition and in future the very sight of an Arriva bus will make her sick.
When I Travel down to Malta from Bologna airport I find it amusing and sad that there is never any need to look at the gate number.
I just head to where all the yelling is.
The coarseness and the terribly arrogant tones Maltese men use with their wives/companions always shocks me. If they’re so tense, yelling and swearing after what presumably should have been a relaxing holiday, I cannot possibly immagine what family dinner times after a stressful day are like in Maltese homes.
Its the same all over the world – there are hamalli /bogans everywhere.
This particular case – see link below – actually went to court – and the women got off with a slap on the wrist. And that is the problem – the courts are feeble.
I know a baby throwing up is not the most pleasant thing in the world but please remember that it is a baby and i’m sure the baby isn’t strong enough to not throw up. I didn’t get who was on which side of the story but whoever said jaq or anything like that was not the most considerate person and is at fault and is mistaken but also the man is at fault for butting in and not minding his own business. In short both are at fault.
Scenes from a fourth world country…

L-aqwa fl-Ewropa.
Sure this isn’t civilized behaviour but please stop branding Malta in such away. As if such stuff doesn’t happen around the world.

I swear that I have never seen anything like this happen anywhere else in Europe – here in Malta it is the order of the day.
Yes, we are savages.
Sounds like they’ve been to the Jeremy Kyle finishing school.
The fat loud slob (or is it loud fat slob) puts a brand new perspective on the expression “injuranza grassa”.
Now that we have witnessed this, can anyone imagine the same scene with a migrant’s baby?
Ma fhimtx kelma.
X’ahna mittlekless,
X’ahna Haj Sosajeti.
X’ hamallagni. Was that Joe Mizzi the Transport Minister, in disguise?
No, that’s Tony Zarb.
Subtitles are required to understand anything other than ‘haq al mad**na’ and ‘remmeti’. What embarrassing people.

Where’s that spontaneous combustion when you need it?
X’injuranza grassa, kif qatt ma nitghallmu, lesti biex najjru lil xulxin u fejn jidhol id dagha ma hawnx bhala. Veru tal misthija.
Dak gallinar fuq ir-roti mhux karrozza tal-linja.

It’s not just Daphne’s remarks that make me laugh. The comments are hilarious! Keep them coming! Laughter is the best medicine :)
Rather than changing the buses, consideration should be given to changing the passengers.
Malta must be the only country with a bus service that comes with undesirable on-board entertainment.
Malta is the only country where people flaunt their ignorance and shocking behaviour.
When Mater Dei Hospital started in operation an elderly client of mine told me “Il-gagga biss inbidlet”.
How true, any chance we can change the swine? Because 20 budgets spent on education have got us nowhere, and all the worms are coming out of the cracks when they should be crawling in with embarrassment.
Ma fimtx kelma, but it seems the problem is not the buses but the Maltese louts.
With so much swearing is it any wonder that buses are catching fire?!
I am so ashamed of these Eritreans, Somalis, Sudanese and others who end up inadvertently in Malta.
I wonder what they think about us.
What I know for sure is that most of them do not really want to stay here and are only interested in moving on to another country.
Who can blame them.
Watch the two passengers in front of the fat slob. Imagine what great impressions of the Maltese they will be taking back home with them.
Signs missing next to the ‘No Smoking’ sign are ‘No Swearing’ … ‘No Fighting’ … ‘No Shouting’
Was that poor child crying towards the end of the video?

Mamma Mia, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. What a shame – poor kid who was looking after him/ her?
How disgraceful.
Kids have no right to throw up on a bus and splatter over anyone or anything other than their own or their parents’ lap.
That kid should be locked up and the key given to Dalli to throw out the window next time he’s flying over the Bahamas.
Give me a chicken bus anytime.
This is interesting too:

Lovely cultural lesson for the young child who was staring at them. They should be charged in court for public indecency.

Every visit down I get the same feeling.
Oh dear, I know the feeling! It’s one of utter shame and frustration.
Imagine having to share the Linate flight, fake bags and sunglasses on show. Kulhadd dubbien.

Loud and proud savages, and it’s just getting worse.

These are the sort of people (among) others, of course, who lumped us with this amateurish,grossly unprofessional (to say the least) government.
As they say people get the government they deserve; shame we have to bear it too.
