In Malta Today, yesterday:
(Sandro) Chetcuti said the construction sector always responded to the needs of the country, be it social housing, tourism or financial services.
“Developers are not in the business for profits but because they have a passion for the sector.”
Sandro Chetcuti, chasing Labour politicians at the May Day meeting in Bormla this year, for the chance to tell them about his passion for developing buildings.

Oh, really? Then Sandro Chetcuti should sell at cost price. He might finally move that pile of rubbish he wants Muscat to buy up as social housing using taxes Chetcuti hasn’t paid because he doesn’t want profits.
Finally, a property-developing Don Bosco.
Possibly another Francis of Assisi.
Francis could only be in two places at one time not three.
What a joker.
and in today’s news:

I guess it is no coincidence that the Interconti would be one of the first to go ahead with this.
Never mind the money, feel the concrete.
So developers should register as NGOs and claim assistance as charitable organisations.
Perhaps in the forthcoming budget speech, Edward Scicluna can announce a tax exemption for developers in the same sentence he announces the weekly COLA of 58 cents.
OK so keep the passion and give us the profits because this year my 15 year old daughter is doing her O levels ad I am finding it hard to pay the new tariffs.
They have gebla in their blood.
Delizju Malti, bhal kacca u l-insib.
Worst experience of nausea triggered by the written word in my entire life.
A liar as well as a cheat.
Dom Mintoff was Chetcuti’s idol, so really, what do you expect.
Qamel il barra, deheb il gewwa. Naghtik sitt habbiet imqammla ha nehodlok sold tad-deheb.
Time to distinguish between developers and speculators. Words and their disquisition an urgent agenda itself.
The first own extensive plant, equipment and have hundreds on their payroll. And they don’t really mind whether it’s blocks of flats or essential infrastructure.
The moment we can distinguish is when Chetcuti is in the way. Not that he isn’t, thus this ideological squatting must be eradicated.
Time to start using that bloody dictionary. But I’m not holding out much hope. Not with that imbecile Joe Azzopardi leading the nation.
Every construction is labelled “development”. Hence positive. Hence more of it is more positive.
Norman Lowell was right.
Alternattiva Demokratika was right until #foxxGonzi got the better of it.
MLP and the NP were wrong from day one.
The way I see it is ultra-fragmentation, leading to major complexity in management of the nature of work required.
And that needs words.
Ornament, requalification, refurbishment, bonifica, function, no end to it. I wish we’d just realise how that opens up mental space infinitely.
AD was wrong in that they stuck to Marxist tendencies, itself expressed in brutalism, instead of leading to solutions. Lowell is nothing but the other face of orthodox Greens, same origin.
Ribbon development and facadism was also AD’s doing.
It’s a pity he is not as good with words as he is with his fists.
A liar and a cheat of the highest order. If he gets no profit how does he finance his fleet of luxury cars?
Adam Smith wrote that the baker bakes bread not for the greater good of society, but because he is driven by his own selfishness and profits.
Oh really he has a passion for the sector, he doesn’t do it for profits. My house needs developing how about doing it for me for free. Can I have his phone number?
To whom exactly did he say this nonsense?
Was he speaking on behalf of the Malta Developers Association members? What a shame! What a joke.
