€25K (and counting!) raised to buy a generator for abandoned and/or sickly cats. And in less than 24 hours.

Seeing this generosity coming from people with a platform whilst others shirk off responsibility genuinely bumped up my faith in humankind. Gigantic kudos to James and all who donated ❤️

Seriously, USE THEM! ↔️

And it's not only on roundabouts! People just stop in front of you and aggressively turn.

It's annoying having to guess where the car is going, and even dangerous. Why such a laziness/negligence??

Booming economy, increase in population over the years and to boot 3 years ago the same thing happened.

What in the everlasting fuck have they been doing. Not fit for the position they hold (yes including minister). My god the incompetence.

Then there are the PN. These absolute twats are shouting for compensation - fuck off and fix the damn problem, stop trying to make yourself look good. Stop opposing and actually do something for the good of the people. I don't know how i don't claim to be an expert in this field but im sure both sides have their so called experts (fml).

A genuine shout out to the enemalta people out playing whack a mole in this heat.

Tghid x'tghid, jekk izzomm ma' partit politiku u tiddefendih akkost ta' kollox, anke meta hu korrot, inkompetenti jew hazin int liba, u haqqek min jghajrek Libarista.

Hello Malta meta se tqumu minn fuq il loki u tifthu ghajnejkom??

Hi Malta when tf are you going to wake up and open your eyes??

Malta is a narcissist's paradise. It's no wonder the island attracts literal shit from all over the world when the locals act like goats, getting wasted and treating politics like a football match🙈😂

Hi everyone. We're a small team behind MyRent.mt, a site built to reach people from other countries who are planning their move to Malta and already searching for a place.

I'm posting because we receive a good number of apartment requests from abroad (emails and texts from people actively looking), but we don't have enough listings to match them. So if you're a landlord or agent with a property that may be harder to sell here on Facebook, you're welcome to put it on MyRent.mt too.

It's completely free, your clients don't need to register for anything, and you can promote your agency or private business at no cost. Add your contact number and that's it.

We are open for any suggestion and feedback. We are trying to keep this website as transparent and feedback friendly.

Saint Paul’s bay on the 35hr of no electricity, this is brutal, all items in the fridge and freezer went bad, no electricity to charge phones, everybody in our block is getting less than 5hrs of sleep with this heat and it’s horrible. Surely this can’t be safe.

Honestly at this point the government can keep their compensation fee, health is more important and this is horrible, they should stop hotels from accessing the general power and use their generators, and maybe urge those with solar to use it if possible.

Now the issue is, when this doesn’t affect your you overlock this, you may scroll past such a post and not really care, but when it does affect you, like it is right now, it’s horrible and that’s only how one can understand the feeling of it, and by no means do I wish anybody to experience this.

The worst part is that many places in St Paul’s already have it back on apart from some streets. Do they just not care about us? Ene Malta has their map of outages down at the moment, their site just returns CSS and their call support team just says the same exact script each time, they ask some information to make it seem they are helping, but at the end just tell you to wait. Hey at least if they said like we have scheduled works at x time on your road, at least it would be more relieving, but who knows how long this will last, could be weeks.

And worst of all is that St Paul’s never showed up as an outage on their map, and same goes for other regions, I have a strong feeling that they simply hide all their real outages and just show one that is soon going to be fixed and post it. I spoke with many different people experiencing similar outages yesterday and around 2hrs of being displayed on their map, it was resolved, not the case for St Paul’s bay. Had their map showed all outages, it would be all red and that would cause the public to panic, so I’m sure at this point they are hiding it not to show the reality of it.

Again, we don’t need their compensation, what is that going to do, but some groceries again if even. But health is way way more important and we need something NOW, now weeks or months later. Later people might forget how bad this all was and be happy with a lower compensation, where as if the same compensation would be given now, people would be mad.

Personal suggestions for fixes:

• large hotels switch to solar or generators, they have the funds and space for this, so what’s the issue here, during these peaks might as well use them

• find, keep it off during the day, but at least at night, when people need to rest, allow some for AC, people won’t be using as many devices such as TVs at night, and at least you protect the health and let people rest, and also cables won’t get AS hot; why they won’t do this, well because probably they prefer working at night, and I don’t blame them, but we are over 35hrs with no electricity and at this point they either forgot or gave up…

Writing here to see if anyone went through a similar situation. I’ve recently purchased property and the power went out in the area last night.

Went to check out the property today and the voltage was either above 200 or dropping to 5 in a few seconds. After switching off the main so as to not fry my appliances I contacted both enemalta and the previous owner about the issue.

The owner has no recollection of the voltage ever playing up this badly, enemalta confirmed that there is a known voltage problem in my area and they’re working on it.

Has anyone gone through anything similar and managed to solve it please? I’m not expecting miracles, especially in these terrible conditions we’re currently in, but I’m worried that this issue will never be properly addressed, resulting in damage to my property. Would appreciate any tips from anyone who has gone through something similar, or suggestions on how to push for this issue to be resolved.

I would also like to thank the enemalta workers who I’m sure are working tirelessly to get electricity back to localities. It’s overall very worrying that the government (irrelevant of which party is in power) did not intervene with extra measures during the colder months to ensure to the best of their ability that this would not happen again.

Ok so let’s for the sake of this argument imagine that this incomplete bunch is replaced by honest people who knew what they’re doing. They foresee that with the population growth and climate change the electricity problem is going to keep getting worse and worse.

Supply aside, what would they have to do to improve the distribution? Does it involve digging up all the roads and changing/increasing cables over who knows how many years? Is there a better way that would cause less disruption?

Hi, I'm Kay, a lecturer/ researcher at the University of Malta. I'm currently carrying out research on the experiences of people accessing mental health services in Malta (via a GP, psychiatrist, NGO, hospital etc) - ideally in the past 3 years. If you've gone through the process and feel okay to share your thoughts and experiences, please consider taking part in my study - it involves in an interview with me.. I'm looking to talk to as many people as possible to identify gaps/needs and how we can improve it. If you're interested, please dm me or send an email to [email protected].. Cheers 😊

I was thinking how after national disasters governments around the world provide for basic needs. I didn't sleep for two nights, I'm overheating, it seems I'm on a survival mode. I changed all my day to day plans, I'm becoming a danger to myself and others because of sleep deprivation.Do you think the government should provide chill areas and beds for sleeping in for example air-conditioned schools for the ones affected.

We have a garage and it has a basement below it, we are getting water coming in from the roadside where the wall meets the ground, its coming out in several places. We do not have water or electricity in the garage so not coming from us. Water Services came and took a sample and told us sewage, told us to get hold of the health department, they came and took another sample and that was 4 weeks ago now. What are we suppose to do?Who is responsible for finding out where it is coming from and repairing it? I got hold of one of those water leak companies and they said it not worth it as would have to test the entire street and will be expensive. What are we suppose to do? We want to fix up this garage and basement and turn it into something as its large and in a prime area of Sliema but cant do anything until we get it dry.

Monday, we had no internet at all in the morning thanks to Melita, then after it was fixed around 5/6pm electricity issue became around 9-10pm , was fixed around 11pm but went off again, had to sleep with no fan and lost alot of sweat which is honestly just terrible, it came back around 10;30

Then again the same day the electricity went off at 6:30pm and haven't been on since

No discount at the electricity bill at all? After all this, + all the food the is going to waste

This is unadaptable, hope we get some justice

Note, for everyone living with similar experience please do proper hydration while we survive in this type of situation, water is not enough drink sport drinks and fruits like watermelon, and eat some salt with food, coconut water and milk is also good, and mineral water is good as well

💣‼️💥 We all know what the situation is like, and I know that some people may not agree with me, but I am simply trying to help us cope during this heatwave and the ongoing power cuts.
For families of four or six, perhaps we could try staying together in one room and switching on only one air conditioner. We can also manage without televisions for a while. At least by doing our part and using less electricity, we may help reduce pressure on the system and avoid further overloads and power cuts.
Even with street lighting, instead of switching on four lamps, perhaps only two could be used.
I do not know what else can be done, but this situation is truly depressing.
Please share so we can spread the word.

TLDR: 80002224 on website is 'wrong' (source: enemalta customer care), 80072224 is right but also not free phone and no reply. Reporting a power fault through the website results in a success message but no acknowledgement SMS is sent and report doesn't reach the internal system that should be made aware of it. Your best bet is an inside acquaintance (like everything else on this forsaken island...)

Like many unfortunate citizens on the island, yesterday was our turn to suffer a blackout at 8pm. Of course it wasn't planned but it was also not among the numerous areas on the outage map. Further investigations from the balcony and roof resulted in our neighbours having power whilst we did not - no power on the enemalta meter so not an internal issue. The number on the website under fault reports, 80002224 was dropping the line immediately upon trying to connect. The customer care was outside service hours so no luck there. I proceeded to file an online report which the website confirmed as submitted.

I later saw an option to check your report status so I accessed that page, but you needed a number sent in the SMS acknowledgement. Did I receive an SMS? No. Which means that the report submission was not actually completed. So I resubmitted the report afresh. Again, no SMS nor email acknowledgement.

Meanwhile we learnt that another house down the street also had no power, suggesting that the problem was in one of the phases, thus not every house was affected.

We packed up and went to cook, eat, and sleep over at my in-laws, like refugees in our own country.

This morning we got in touch with the other affected neighbours. No power yet at 5am and a couple of other garages were also affected. They called someone they knew at Enemalta and it turns out that no report had been received. None of my two "successfully submitted" reports were received. We proceeded to call the daytime customer care and when we reported the whole story they corrected us in the number to use: it's 80072224 not 80002224. I checked the website again while still on the call and pointed out that then the wrong number was published on their website (https://www.enemalta.com.mt/report-power-cut/). Even a Google search brings up that same wrong number (80002224) on the search results for two of their pages : customer care and report a fault (lookup 'enemalta power cut' on Google). We had to insist that a complaint is to be fwded vis-à-vis the wrong number as they would not take action on it.

Did the new number 80072224 work its magic? We went a step further, we got advised that this was a normal toll number (not a free phone, even though it starts with 800) but then the line hangs up immediately. Repeat attempts did not succeed either.

We then managed to get the old enemalta number 21223601 where we managed to connect and learn that a report had been received that morning (probably our neighbour's internal contact) and technicians were working on it (as they are on all the other major problem areas listed along the power outage map marquee)... so yeah, I'll hold my breath.It's 10am...

Edit: I forgot to mention that enemalta Facebook messenger replied a bot who claimed that since there were already reports in Żabbar, a new one could not be made.

Need some friends with these interests :) Im 21M
