Killing as many birds as possible and not two with one stone. This is what the Prime Minister Dr Joseph Muscat is doing and being successful in his quest. A perfect resemblance of the late beloved Prime Minister Mr Dom Mintoff way back in 1971 who put Malta's name on the World map and rebuilt our Island in the true sense of the word after winning the general election by a hair's breadth even though the MLP had the majority of votes.
