Definately the most loved president so far. Wishing the President and his family a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

The President is so right but in order for public officials to show ethical and moral values those appointed must have been appointed on the basis of merit and not the result of some other method of being appointed. For how can anyone be ethical and moral in his behaviour when his or her appointment was not ethical or moral in the first place.

And this is where the problem lies in my opinion.

A loved and honourable president. All the nation is behind you.
Gonzi knew what he was doing when he appointed him president. The PL lost a great man!!

Wise words from the head of state. Will they be heeded? Hon Franco Debono has been saying very much the same thing all year. Christmas will pass and all those at the top will conveniently forget what is said in this week's speeches. I'm a realist and I've seen too many things to believe in politicians any more. They must be the ones to make the change.

I have no doubt that his Excellency shall go down in history as one of Malta’s most loved presidents. He is humble, hard-working, straightforward and objective. I usually disagree that political figures retain their post ad aeternum but in his Excellency case I would definitely make an exception. I truly wish that as a nation we could petition so he could serve another term. May God bless him!

In the last ten years I have been astounded as the improper behaviour of some officials in Civil Service, Courts, Sports, Banks, Politics, Education, Notaries research on homes, Lawyers, Some police manners and others. I must say that most are excellently deported but those few make great new so please listen to the President. A Healthy year and a Happy Christmas to all.

Diskors sabih hafna tal-President ta' Malta, f'dawn il-granet ta' festi. Kif qal tajjeb il-President hadd mhu 'l fuq mil-ligi u kulhadd irid jaghti kont ta' dak li jkun ghamel. Personalment ghalija (mill-Presidenti li niftakar jien), il-President Dr George Abela huwa wiehed mill-aqwa Presidenti li kellha Malta! Awguri lil kulhadd

It's amazing, everyone gives their two pence worth on the most mundane topics, and an item like this goes silent.

I think President Abela has really left his mark on this country and managed to do a lot of good. A good man of not many words, but with a lot if resolve. Pity there aren't more around - our politicians should take note.

An honest and much needed request that all to whom it applies would do well to respect and obey. The voice of reason and common sense with the interests of the Maltese people at heart. Ignore it at your peril.

Unfortunately the politicians have their own agenda - to advance themselves and their families first, and stay in power second, and third do as little as possible, with reform and integrity coming in last of all it seems.

Kliem meqjusa ta-president. Naqbel mieghu hemm nies onesti li jahdmu b'risq is-sewwa inkluz fil-gugatura.
Ghandna nkunu kburin li hadd ma huwa 'fuq mill-ligi.
