In reply to Kevin. The Nationalists couldn't very well put foreigners in charge of Maltese scholarship selection boards. Things were just as bad back then. The only way out is literally a flight out of Malta. Leave this rock to the thieves, pimps and scoundrels. And to the sons, daughters and fuck-buddies of.

I though you could only get a maximum of 8000 euro. And this one got 10,000 euro! Or is the Malta Arts Scholarship administered differently?

And by the way, her recent portrayal of Hero in the recently staged Much Ado About Nothing was uninspiring to say the least. After the show, my friends and I all agreed that her performance was bland and that she was completely out-shined by her colleagues.

Please be reminded we are under PL government. Everything is possibble except for those who vote PN.

All this is evidence of the low standards that this new government considers as reflecting Malta’s true image, locally and abroad.

Scholarships in Malta are a joke. This young man is not the only one who’s lost out because of others being better connected.

People like this young man and others who are all capable of doing great things will remain in their host countries. The idiots who couldn’t make it on their own steam return to Malta. Brain and ethics drain.

Both parties are equally culpable of this. At least (and as usual), the Nationalists had the decency to widen the opportunity base for people wanting to further their studies.

I pity this NAG girl. She is being rewarded for being deceitful, manipulative and rude. Alternatively, she sold out which simply shows she lacks character.

In reply to M. Cassar. You cannot deny that we need to invest in understanding, preventing and curing eating disorders here in Malta. Nithanzru wisq, ahna l-Maltin.

In reply to Gahan. Why do toolmakers need sponsorship, Gahan? They get their stipend and are employed as apprentices, going on to full-time after a three year course, when they start off with close on €20k/pa (and soon pass that with overtime and shift allowances).

In reply to M. Cassar.

M. Cassar, this scholarship business does not affect me personally in the least.

My children were head-hunted overseas. Thankfully.

I can empathise with you as a father of four.

The horrendous scandal you refer to was resignation material if ever there was one afflicting these blessed Islands.

Nothing happened then and nothing ever will.

This is Malta. A miserable parish.
