Bless. A walking, talking testament to the much despised argument that much like many less potentially destructive acts (eg a driving licence), perhaps a basic IQ test should be required before allowing such people to even look at a voting document.

Totally ridiculus. Maybe it is all about money…so what??!! The government can always stop the programme if it becomes ‘too successful’, so I doubt we’ll be full of Chinese people roaming around us!

Might as well make the most out of the EU now that we’re in. We already let Europeans come and go as they please…taking our jobs, so why not Chinese and Russians??!!

Keep it up labour. I have no doubt that, if the PN continues on their current path, we’ll be in government for another decade.

All the best xxxx

I personally would not rush to draw that conclusion. Especially now that we know that Chinese families have already submitted applications.

We have not yet seen any of the proposals for land reclamation projects. Incidentally, the closing date for the expressions of interest is 29 November 2013, a date quite close to the current parliamentary enactment of the citizenship sale scam.

I would not be surprised if the Chinese government (or one of its controlled entities) will be one of the parties expressing interest with a residential city on the lines of Dubai’s Palm City that can be populated with thousands of Chinese billionaires and their families.

For the first time since Ghar Dalam, elephants will be back in Malta. This time they will be of the white variety.

I doubt that anyone buying a Maltese passport is doing so in order to live in Malta. It’s far more likely that these passport buyers are purchasing easy access to Europe and (for now) visa-free travel to the US.

Have you ever seen any footage of their ghost metropolises?

Oops. This comment should be under the star comment by Manwel…

Kien jibghathom jitn*jku kollha kemm huma. Ara dak x’kien j*itnejjek mil-kostituzzjoni.

In the meantime, our spirit’s core, our Maltese citizenship, is up for sale and cheaply without any commitment for investment or anything else that we know of.

Now that he sold our citizenship, he will be devoured by the vortex he has created.

May he spin in it for ever.
