What has he supposedly done for Malta, exactly?
Bought a number of passports to give away as Christmas gifts perhaps?
T’is the season to be Santa.
@ Canon.
He co-owns Fox News.
That’s what we have to find out.
Solved all our transport and traffic problems and built our extensive underground all financed from his private fortune
Considering that the President is honouring him, I would say that he is probably going to solve our “faqar socjali.”
He is teaching us how to treat women.
Our Madam President is gaining weight. The cooks at San Anton have to be more careful with our president..
President MacLouise
Forbes got on his bad side because he wanted to dictate their lists and New York’s Giuliani would not accept his ten million dollar donation because he wanted to dictate US policy back in 2001.
We always knew that Joseph Muscat worshiped at the altar dedicated to money, he just confirmed it with the IIP scheme and called it talent.
Apparently he’s been awarded the gong for work he plans to do, not did.
I thought the medal was supposed to award people who did something for the country, not who plan to do some good.
Separately, I have noticed that an Aswar Tours outlet has sprung in Censu Xerri Street, just in front of the Tigne shopping complex.
The shop was filled exclusively with Arab-looking gentlemen. I wonder what kind of tours this company promotes, and if this country can provide enough clientele to make a tours activity viable this day and age?
The point about him being rewarded for “planned acts of charity” is an absolute disgrace. If anything it should be for charity that he has done, but even the principle of people being awarded for charity, as in giving money for a cause, is wrong. It should be done quietly.
It is people who give their life’s work for a social cause who should be recognized.
A gong placed around his neck by an exotic White sumo wrestler. They prepare the best of shows, these lejberz.
Maybe even acquired an EU passport courtesy of Joseph and Manuel, perhaps? It would only cost him what he usually gives out in tips. Damn. no. There’s the one year residency clause.
How many EU passports did he get/buy?
How many beheadings has he bankrolled?
Imbaghad jiccelebraw “40 sena Repubblika”, ja qabda bastardi. Viva l-oligarkija. Viva d-dittaturi.
Have a look at these, put on your welding goggles first.

Wanna bet White Rocks becomes the next Marbella? Calabria Saudita or what.
C’mon, per rispett, don’t say these things a caldo.

Sigh.
Yes, but whose ideology is that, Jozef? It’s everyone’s. That’s why nothing will ever change. That’s why voting this lot out changes nothing.
What Malta needs is someone to stand up and say enough’s enough. No more running after money. No more worshipping at the altar of bling. No more Dubaification. No more de-Westernisation.
And I can’t see anyone doing that. Not in a million Konvenzjonijiet Ideat.
Yes, I’m a Western supremacist. I make no apology. The Saudis are modern-day princes of darkness. They became rich not through industry and invention, but simply by pitching their tent over a patch of oil.
They are backward, ignorant, bigoted and are incapable of creating beauty. Give me Shiite Iranians any time. At least they had a civilisation before the ayatollahs came along. The Saudis had nothing. And they still have nothing.
If it hadn’t been for that meddling idiot Lawrence, they’d still be herding their camels in the desert.
Have faith.
Was she always so obese ?
No, but she was always obtuse.
NO
As a teenager and as a young lady, she was very attractive. She was/is also very approachable, explaining her massive support from the electorate.
There was also an Asian-looking (Chinese?) man sitting in front at the unveiling ceremony of Mintoff’s monument. I wondered who he was, too.
The new manager for Leisure Clothing presumably.
I bet the Chinese sponsored the bronze for the monument.
The look on the soldier’s face says it all.

Why was this person been given this honour from Malta? What am I missing?
Is it because he is a Prince? Because he is rich?
Because he had made a mega financial contribution or of some other type to our country?
Is it, God forbid, because he donated large amounts of money to the Labour Party war-chest?
Is this government for real?
From MaltaToday
Billionaire Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Al Saud is spending the day in Malta today where he will receive a Republic Day award for charity work he plans on doing, sources told MaltaToday. The Saudi Prince also plans on “spending the day looking at investments”.
Charity work he PLANS ON DOING! So if he doesn’t do anything we’ll take it back? What a joke.
The horrified look on the young female soldier’s face assisting with the ceremony echoes the feelings of the remaining decent people in this country.
Charity work? Is he connected to JDalliBA?
One night with Kim Kardashian or a Maltese passport?

Any protocol issues with our woman president touching the Wahhabi Saudi prince?
He sued Forbes magazine for libel for underestimating his wealth by $6 billion , at $20 billion instead of $26 billion .
What a fart.
This man is powerful and important enough to have warranted a 1-hour long programme on German TV a couple of years ago. His reputation is good. Still, what’s Malta to him?
So the Prince accepts a gong from a woman who, had she been his subject, would have been arrested for driving car?
I think he is interested in Manoel Island, because apart from the Barraka Gardens which is a usual place to visit, he was taken there too.

The dwarf-tossing billionaire: Coconut, JPO beware.
Very, very ironic. Our woman president putting a medal on a member of the ruling family of a country where women are treated like rubbish and where households still keep slaves and abuse them.
Hadn’t been to the Sliema/St.Julian’s area in a while before but yesterday I couldn’t help but notice the big increase in cars with Arabic number plates.

Ok, so he is the 26th richest.
Does the money give you right to travel in an obscene aeroplane? I mean, is that all luggage man? Why do you have to be so ostentatious?
IS your carbon footprint of any concern to you? Do you have a small penis?
I would cross the street and avoid you on these grounds alone, let alone for the way you and your buddies disrespect, abuse and violate the human rights of women and others. Is that why WE gave you Gieh ir-Repubblika?
You do not deserve this, regardless of what you do or how much you are worth.
It ruined it for me now knowing that all my favourite hotels are owned by you.
So what about this government? Is this the new China? The new Gaddafi?
Lord deliver us from them and the government too.
One word: disgrace.
How can you give a medal for something that is going to be done, if and whatever it will be?
The policy of upside-down principles.
I am surprised that he agreed to be touched by a woman, let alone a non-Muslim woman.
In his country such a thing is ‘haram’ (forbidden), although not in most other Muslim countries.
Saudi Arabia practises a strict Wahabi form of Islam but, like the ban on consumption of alcohol, many adherents have a tendency to ignore the rules when outside of Saudi Arabia.
I’m guessing that using some loose change to become an ordinary Maltese-EU citizen was not enough for this chap.
He wanted to become a DECORATED Maltese-EU citizen. I wonder who in Malta received the backhander to oil the wheels on this one.
I think the people commenting here are focusing too much on the fact that this man is obscenely rich while failing to mention that he is a member of the ruling family of a country that treats women like dirt and executes people at will.
It is, I believe, more worrying that our government chose honour a man responsible for all that than the state of his bank account.
Joseph Muscat met the son of Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Alsaud in September.
The son’s name is Khaled.

Judging from the picture of Joseph with Khaled – it was clearly taken ‘a caldo’ – I think I understand Joseph’s reasoning for the honour to the father.
You have a point, Ciccio. Rarely do we see our Prime Minister beaming like he were a 10-year-old girl meeting Harry Styles from One Direction.
No Gieh ir-Repubblika for Shiv Nair? He was instrumental in opening doors at high level in Qatar.
And no Medalja tal-Qadi tar-Repubblika to the Liberian Ethelbert J.L.Cooper? He is the one behind Konrad Mizzi’s great idea of an LNG gas tanker with powerstation in Marsaxlokk.
