No doubt about that, my friend. The law has NOT been amended as yet, and the relative Legal Notice has been issued – free of any reference to the Minister’s assurances that the ‘secrecy’ clause will be dropped. The only way to find out is through some Identity Malta/Passport Office official spilling the beans – and probably his blood in the aftermath.

There has to be away to find out.

Whatever the answer, it cannot but have significant implications.

Now the visit to China in 2010 by Dr. Muscat start to make a lot of sense. He still refuses to divulge the contents of that agreement but we can now start to understand some of its clauses.

It would be interesting to gauge their reaction, if any. I’m serious.
