In reply to ciccio. No, not Sai Mizzi per se. Look for the person she represents.

In reply to Edward.

Just wait for it Edward. Something has to give, and it won’t be Muscat’s backers.

The department of contracts has, to all intents and purposes, been dissolved.

Muscat gave a lecture on jobs being what they are and the unemployed cannot expect to choose a career, just what’s available.

Government statements have taken to instruct the Leader of the Opposition to ‘keep his mouth shut’.

In reply to Libertas.

Chinese citizens are not allowed dual citizenship under any circumstances.

The reality is that many Chinese citizens hold a second passport, issued by another country, often Communist Party officials.

The PRC expects its citizens to admit the acquisition of a second passport and to renounce their Chinese citizenship.

The general public, given the opportunity, show disfavor upon dual passport holders when the facts become known – obviously no body has reported Ms Sai Liang Mizzi to the appropriate PRC authority.

The locating of a direct air link in the south of China will be very convenient for this very special lady.

Document C

Conflict of Interest, Section 8 – “a situation in which a public employee has a private or personal interest sufficient to influence or appear to influence the objective exercise of his or her official duties.”

Doesn’t being married to a government minister, responsible for Energy, constitute a conflict of interest when involved in negotiating Energy Infrastructure contracts in China?

In reply to L. Galea. Blacklisted Shiv Nair needs to have someone present whenever China formally cuts a deal with Muscat. He is officially no longer Muscat's consultant so he can't be there in person.

The publication of Sai MIzzi’s employment contract countersigned by Malta Enterprise should be sufficient reason not to compare this to an Ambassador’s contract, which is a contract signed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs . The more they try to justify what happened the deeper they dig themselves into that proverbial hole.

The fact that Sai MIzzi, a minister’s wife was the beneficiary of this special treatment is wrong and nothing can justify that!
Friends of friends, wives of ministers, not to mention girlfriends and partners. Its suddenly all become acceptable.

What a shame
