There are plenty more were that came from, just look around and visit some restaurants in the Gozo area. you'll be surprised how many speak with a different tongue, most say they are students, student of what? cheap labour no doubt.

Mr Buittigieg, if they are students they are not supposed to work because they should have brought enough money with them to support themselves throughout their studies apart from paying their tuition fees.

Miskin.
How about hundreds of Africans working illegally.
I also agree with the comment of John Vassallo.
Laws should be equal to all.
It is racism against us if we permit to others to do what we cannot do in our country.
Stop the madness please.

Dear Mr Grima Maltese workers cannot work illegally in their own country. They may be working unlawfully on the black economy but not illegally because they are Maltese workers in Malta not your illegal Africans who are here illegally and working illegally.

Actually Mr Vassallo I'd rather they open in the weekend when I can attend such an appointment. During the week day bookings are for housewives mainly. Such businesses need to rethink their clientele focus.

Hmm. it seems that only illegal Africans immigrants can work illegally, all other nationalities are booked, fined and most probably deported.

How about the Chinese Massage Centre in the Zabbar-Marsascala bypass which is opened also on Sundays and public holidays when Maltese massage centres are closed? Isn't this unfair competition by a foreigner from the other side of the earth? Why shouldn't Maltese massage centres have their holidays and Sundays off because a foreigner opens up on Sunday? Do they have permission to open on Sundays and public holidays? I hope that the authorities nips this practice in the bud.

why don't you report it to the police instead of here?

Mr Saliba who told you that it has been reported and nothing happened? Sometimes corrective measures are only taken when it is exposed in the media. Thanks to The Times.

@Ron Saliba sometimes reporting it on the timesofmalta.com is better than reporting it to the police as the police might act a little faster and won't put it on the back burner. Although now that it was printed in the timesofmalta.com he should report it to the police.
