Staqsu lil Haddiema tal-MDC, IPSE u Metco kemm ha hsieb il-haddiema Zammit Tabona. Tefahhom il-barra minghajr ebda raguni u hallihom f'infern sal-gurnata tal-lum! Nippretendi li dan ghad irid jaghti kont tieghu flimkien mal-amministrazzjoni ta' dak iz-zmien.

Meta saret l-integrazzjoni tal-MDC, IPSE u METCO f'organizzazzjoni wahda l-Malta Enterprise, il-haddiema ghaddew minn tensjoni kbira. Qattawlhom qalbhom u kien hemm haddiema l-anqas biss baghtu ghalihom ghal-interview fis-selezzjoni tal-personnel il-gdid tal-Malta Enterprise. Dan kollu gara fis-sena 2004.

Another GonziPN scumbag who will continue to use this country for promoting money laundering and illegal activities for his personal gain.
Who will be given an appointment next? I am expecting Gonzi and Gatt to be given a role any day now.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Congratulations to Joe Zammit Tabona. He worked hard, achieved results and his new appontment is well merited. Well done goes to the new administration for retaining his services through his new appointment.

Proset u Awguri it -tnejn li huma.

An excellent appointment!
