Sai Mizzi is a cover up for Shiv Nair.

Well said, Natalie.

Yes, sure. Of course Mandarin is needed to promote Maltese interests in China.

And so does an office address. Or any type of address.

Correction – not hers, anyway.

Sai Mizzi has no business experience in China. Why do you think her CV wasn’t published along with her contract?

She did a Masters degree at Nottingham university while Konrad Mizzi was there, married Konrad Mizzi, lived in E16 in London, moved to Malta with her husband, had two children, cast around desperately for something to do, and the rest is history.

But that history doesn’t include business experience in China – not here, anyway.

Anecdotal experience? Unbelievable to what extent PL apologists can go lessen the fact that we have a government of thieves, pimps and scoundrels.

Oh Baxxter – are you going to try your hand at the ad hominem game too? I have to admit, I’m a bit awed to be in the presence of someone whose knowledge seems to extend from the finer points of the history of European cuisine to philosophy to the domestic politics of China and the countries of North Africa. Nevertheless, please note that:

i) you are in no position to judge my familiarity or otherwise with any language, apart from English;

ii) In any case, someone with your undoubtedly extensive range of knowledge should be aware of the difference between the functions of a diplomatic mission and the functions of a trade promotion office, and why the skills that are required for officers serving in both don’t necessarily overlap

Is that why they sent you to Cairo? Because you have a good command of Arabic?
