True economic recovery
Over the past few months, we've been fed a plethora of announcements of investment and new projects.
The Lufthansa Technik extension, the announcement of the new SR Technics and MCM aircraft maintenance facilities, the commencement of works on the new City Gate project, the White Rocks sports and leisure complex and the corporate village project are all creative and innovative ideas that will spur this country towards excelling in fields of importance to our islands.
The recovery shown by STMicroelectronics is as important as all the announcements mentioned above because it is the result of careful planning between the government and the private sector to ensure that crucial economic sectors of the economy are spurred on during difficult times.
Well done to all involved!

True economic recovery in Malta will only occur if teachers, parents, enterpreneurs, and educational Authorities in Malta will realise that our efforts must be directed at earning foreign revenue and not setting up local shops to sell or service local communities with hairdressing, religions, football, tombola, pastizzi, lotto, clinica, supermarkets, poetry, arts, festas, theatres, churchesetc. That was once a very nice dream while it lasted, but academics must change their styles as what we mean by real INCOME is not what circulates in salaries to government employees, nor what local shopkeepers gain. It is that what results when foreign revenue and assessts crossing into our borders is subtracted from that which goes out across our shore.
I believe theMaltese Education does not make us aware of all, that and we are still with the colonial mentality , that the income flies in, on its own, as when Malta was an important geographical asset for the British and the Knights, and they paid us in return, while they had their own empires. All that is gone, but local Educational mentality stayed in the hands of those who never knew industialisation, and only learnt and studied knowledge from books.
