Chinese white slavery in Malta: there’s a story in Il-Mument
Published:

Chinese people are being trafficked into Malta to work in miserable sweat-shop conditions, some of them even sleeping and eating on the premises, in textile factories – one of which is owned by the Chinese government.
Has the General Workers Union roasted that Tony Zarb on some majjalata spit, and eaten him?
As for the police commissioner, he’s ultra-busy now, investigating poor old George Pullicino – so he can’t be doing with all this nonsense about Chinese slaves.
Damn shame Simon Busuttil didn’t use his podium this morning to ask the police commissioner to investigate the Chinese slavery report in his own newspaper instead.

They tried to eat him, but he tasted so bad. Then they tried to force themselves to eat a good chunk of him but someone cried: “Issa daqshekk”.
[Daphne – God, how I laughed.]
‘Iffa daqfhekk’ actually
As always, when Labour is in government, GWU is in a deep coma.
At least we do not have Toni Zarb, or Anglu Fenech before him, always pumped up and on the warpath.
Thank God for small mercies.
The Chinese do the same in the textile factories that they set up in Jamaica.
They use only Chinese women workers and pay them peanuts.
I wonder who the Chinese leaders pay-off in both nations to be able to pull this stunt?
I wonder how much they pay them as film extras?
*LIKE*
The same thing happens in Naples
Let’s recap:
1. Half a million and a lot more in cash kept in people’s homes. – Check
2. Cocaine trafficking disguised as import/export. – Check
3. Mysterious killings and absconding businessmen. – Check
4. Illegal construction worth millions. – Check
5. Corrupt police officers and magistrates. – Check
6. Chinese slave workers in textile factories. – Check
This stuff has been going on for ages. Actually I always thought it was pretty common knowledge.
I remember my first job after leaving universeity, a good 17 years ago or so. I used to work in a dingy little office at the Corradino industrial estate, right across from a Chinese factory that I believe was producing some kind of clothing.
We would never see any Chinese people leaving the factory to go home. What we would see was laundry hanging out of the windows and occasionally some Chinese individual or other would hurry out to a public payphone to make what usually sounded like a hurried, and sometimes panicked, call.
It was quite evident that those people were working, living, cooking, sleeping and doing all their other business exclusively within the confines of the factory building.
F’pajjizi bhal l-Italja mimlijin b’dawn il-fabbriki tat-tessuti b’abbuzi rampanti u tal-biza mic-Cinizi u l-Mafja. Dan biex ma nsemmux x’jigri ic-Cina.
Tony Zarb ma jridtx jiltaqa ma l-iskjavi Cinizi ghax jibza li ma jhalsux il-mizata u li jiekluh tant ghandhom guh.
Perhaps now we know what the side-business is that the Chinese and the Maltese government agreed to for the take over of the BWSC.
The workers at Enemalta must be thrilled and looking forward to the day when the Chinese take over the power station.
This factory Leisure Clothing has been there for ages. Twenty-three years for sure and it was full of Laburisti and Chinese people.
I used to work there whilst studying and the person who was very much aware of what was going on was ex MLP secretary-general Jimmy Magro, who has now been given some kind of role at Malta Enterprise. I still remember him coming very frequently to the premises.
At the time, the Chinese workers were both men and women and at one point, one man of around 32 suffered a massive heart attack because they were making them work endless hours. That was hushed up and I remember that some other Chinese bosses came and cleaned out all the drawers in the sewing machines as the Chinese workers were popping pills to keep awake.
They asked us to transport them to the factory at 6am. Then at 10am a van would come to give them some really disgusting food with worms in it, and water. Then again at 1pm the food van comes again to feed them.
When we Maltese employers used to leave at 4pm, the Chinese workers would remain there till God knows when. They used to live at Fort St Angelo at that time. Now they live in barracks next to the Employment & Training Corporation. I meet their bus quite frequently when I’m on my way to work round about 6.30am.
I was quite shocked to learn that most of the cheap frozen fish and prawns that we consume in Europe were caught and processed by slave labour, as the story below explains.

This is warning bell. We are compromised. We cannot stop this form of abuse because Konrad and Muscat are now slaves to the will of Shanghai and Communist China.
Owned by the Chinese government.
Make it bold and underlined.
One of the sweatshops is owned by the Chinese government. Who owns the others?
Made in the EU (by Chinese labour).
There are other Chinese slaves working in massage parlours. Some of the slave drivers were prosecuted. Who is going to prosecute the Chinese government in this case?
Ghax il-prekarjat ghall-Maltin biss hazin, hux vera sur Zarb?
Yes it’s very surprising that the Unions – all of them – did not open their mouths on this.
What is even more surprising is that neither did any politician or newspaper until now, despite the fact that Leisure Clothing has been operating in Malta for nearly 30 years.
Several years ago this company threatened to wind up its operations unless it was given permits to import and house foreign workers en masse. This got the blessing of the government of the day, much to the consternation of similar factories who were told they had to employ only Maltese workers.
That Il-Mument only speaks up about this now goes to show the faccjolizmu that cuts across politics at every level and on every side in Malta and it’s no wonder that what should be a top notch cutting edge country is ruled by a bag of clowns who are content to change sides in parliament every few years while feeding rubbish to its very gullible citizens.
