Peter Paul gets some hot tips from the Chinese ambassador on dealing with enemies of the people

A Chinese embassy press release last August:
The Chinese Ambassador to Malta H.E. Mr. Cai Jinbiao paid a courtesy call on the Maltese Commissioner of Police Mr. Peter Paul Zammit on Tuesday morning 20th August 2013 to discuss how to further strengthen bilateral cooperation on police affairs between the two countries. Both sides spoke highly of the bilateral relationship and expressed the hope to further enhance exchanges and cooperation between the police forces of the two countries to their mutual benefits.
Peter Paul Zammit seems to have taken seriously that business about strengthening bilateral cooperation with the Chinese police.

Commissioner, please note that when you order any police armoured tanks, you order the right size to fit the streets in Malta.
The Chinese are used to deal with protestors in Tiananmen square.

An eye opener
I get shivers when I see such things. Are we going to become a communist state?

“Chinese authorities must end excessive use of force against peaceful Tibetan protesters, Amnesty International said after police fired on and injured dozens of demonstrators.
Reports emerged today that Chinese police had opened fire on Tibetan protesters in the town of Diriu in the Tibet Autonomous Region on 6 October, injuring at least 60 people, some seriously. It is unclear if the police used live ammunition or tear gas.”
Prime regulation: “see to it you are smartly dressed”. Crisp, starched shirts. Trousers ironed to perfection. No loose belts. No loose watch straps ( or none at all) . Only careless bus dispatchers turn out in that manner.

Dear Sir,
You may consider me to be a touch brash but I only have the best intentions at heart when writing this letter to remark on your appearance. I also trust that you will take any humour within your stride as I hardly fancy a night at the depot being bullied by thugs.
Firstly, your all important epaulettes, the symbol of your rank, hang towards the front of the shirt rather than sit smartly on your shoulders, a sure sign that your shirt is too large. Of course, finding a shirt that fits well is by no means an easy feat when you consider that beer belly that needs to be kept under tight wraps.
Which brings me to your trousers. I could forgive the tightness around the crotch had some WPC just served you a cuppa. Heaven knows I could understand a thing for women in uniform, but clearly this is not the case. Those trousers need changing and its not just the crotch. Your belt sits underneath your ample stomach, almost hanging on to dear life but is not being worn as a belt should be, and is so reminiscent of our old xarabank drivers.
Do feel free to spend a few euros from my significant and hard earned tax contributions that to get yourself a tailored uniform before your political masters squander it all on freebies. This will make you look much smarter and less like a traffic warden (who are mostly unpleasant, overweight and shabby), adjectives which should not be attributed to you.
You may also want to sound smarter. You must surely have heard the expression “the law is an arse”. Well in Malta, the COP has had the odd occasion to sound like one too (refer to Dalli, Vella and Taliana cases). Some simple advice. Sometimes, shutting one’s trap will often make one sound much wiser, reducing the potential for error exponentially by every additional second of silence.
Looking and sounding smarter are a first important step to some sort of redemption if at all possible. They will however, not make you a smarter person as for that to happen, you need to start using your grey matter. Remember that the police motto is “Domine Dirige Nos”. As a former legal student, you should have sufficient knowledge of latin to understand that this translates to “Lord Direct Us”. Mallia, Scerri and any of the labour appartchiks do not constitute the Lord. Your appointment was made by men, but your obligations to do your duty properly, with integrity and to the best of your ability go way beyond those men. You may otherwise have to change your motto to “Domine Succuro Nos”.
Yours sincerely,
Osservatore
ahhh petel pol… Please u take chiny puliswuman on dinghy hokej…in letuln dey will show yol officels how to cook gleat Ahhh Chinee food…. Fol next time yor maste need cateling
It is the Mintoff/North Korea scenario of the 70s and 80s all over again.
Bet you he asked for an invitation to visit CHINA
It is a pity the leaders of the Stasi couldn’t attend.
Can someone explain to me the logic of strengthening collaboration with an undemocratic state?
Yoohoo liberals, say your views soon or I’ll start naming and shaming….
This also happened under the PN administration, nothing new.

Peter Paul Zammit has the makings of a truly great commissioner of police, even better than Lorry Pullicino.
Peter Paul Zammit reminds one of a John Cachia rather than a Lawrence Pullicino. The latter had brains that he could have used much better in the interests of Maltese society as a whole rather than the interest of the Malta Labour Party (Mintoff-KMB vintage).
Why would an ambassador want to meet the Commissioner of Police? Did he meet with the other ambassadors, as well? Who asked for this meeting, anyway, the Chinese ambassador or our Commissioner?
A police commissioner meeting an ambassador on possible cooperation? This guy cannot see the yellow line.
The Commissioner wanted to meet the Chinese ambassador to ask for some advice re the setting up of the police trade union.
Maybe he’s showing him how to cook some Chinese food so his fellow policemen can serve it to his Police Minister.
Meanwhile in Libya, things are getting worse by the minute:

Is this chap still around? I assumed events last week would have triggered an honourable decision to call it quits and resign.
In the 80s it was the north Koreans and now we have the Chinese.
Is Peter Paul Zammit a Police Commissioner or a political puppet?
I wonder how we can have responsible policemen with a Commissioner like Peter Paul Zammit.
In his few months in this important position we have only heard stupidities.
It’s worse. He’s a political puppet who’s been made police commissioner for that very reason.
Not directly connected, but this meeting reminded me of this heading:

I suppose the Commissioner was advised to pay his staff very low wages, no overtime, and a sixty hour week. He was also given statistical evidence of the UK £ 180 per month that the chinese slaves get paid for working a 60 hour week in a factory in China.
