Now the Football season is over, I noticed at B'kara Ganu Str Off Windmill, a hawker selling Spirits. Did he /they have the required permits. Should celebrations carry on durning the night. If past midnight, such premits, should have to be revoked, or police clame patments as time have elapsed to next day. ACTION ACTION

ACTION ACTION The action should have been from yourself Mr Galea? As a good citizen, it was your duty to report a crime to the police, if you thought that a crime was being committed. Did you do any of this ?

Yeah right. The insurance company in the motor trade, having a car to a certain age, will give you counterfit parts for your car. And that is covered by law. Nice. What about the motorist safety if his car is old? Well done.

Mr Bonello, non original body parts are not counterfeit. They are not produced illegally and some of them are even approved by renowned companies like TUV. As for the safety of these parts I will ask you to mention one single case world wide where there was a casualty due to these parts. By the way, if not for the existence of these parts most cars will be declared total losses and beyond repair due to the high cost of original parts.

The labels should be removed and the items be given to the poor and not destroyed.
