					<description><![CDATA[One detail which may have escaped you: the Chinese ambassador/ diplomat visited Dr Chris Said at the PN HQ to try and dissuade Medialink journalists from reporting anything about Leisure Clothing.

The PN general secretary told the ambassador that he does not interfere with the journalists&#039; work as long as they report the truth.]]></description>

It looks good on those generational Labourites of the typical &quot;hamali&#039;  and lazy  persuasion. 

Where will they now get easy money to do their nails and buy pancake make-up and cigarettes?

Jo sure pulled a fast one on them.]]></description>

Keep in mind that he was always pushed into positions of trust within the PN by Robert Arrigo. (Something anyone even slightly close to the PN would know)

Is this part of a plan to destabilize Simon Busuttil to ensure that the PN lose the next election?

Is someone playing the same dirty game that was played on Lawrence Gonzi to ensure that the last election was lost?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[According to The Times report Bin Han has Maltese nationality. Did he get it through the sale-of-citizenship scheme or through marriage with a Maltese woman?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - As somebody who has been running a factory here for many years, he would have got Maltese citizenship through naturalisation. He wouldn&#039;t be the only one, either: most of those who set up and ran factories in Malta for years have Maltese passports now.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Well if that helps this government&#039;s export figures I guess it must be alright. 

Now let&#039;s hope that those two Chinese directors don&#039;t end up this way.

This was a major problem with the PN, they did not ask for psychological assessments for their candidates and they got lumped with these losers.
