Why some people REGRET moving to Malta !

[@VickiChadwick]

Alex love you.. ❤ Don't care what people say! You can talk about whatever you choose to! It's a free world. There are many jealous people out there. You should be flattered.. the best form of a compliment! You give fantastic information! We all like different things & Malta like many others give you choices. Thanks for the great info. Keep up the great work. You are helping so many people. Forget the negative Annie's ..😘🤣🙏❤️

I regret moving OUT of Malta. Short story: 15 years in UK, 1 year in Malta, 1 year in Bulgaria, 4 months in Latvia and already got my ticket moving back to Malta, the best country in Europe.

I regret moving OUT of Cyprus. Similar story: 2008-2018 in Cyprus (grew up there), 2018-2020 in UK, 2020-2024 Romania (Home Country), 2025 planning to move back in Cyprus

I’m a retired American living in Hawaii for 9 years. I love your videos. Have wanted to visit Malta for years and will be visiting this Fall. Many things people express are very similar to what you will hear in Hawaii. I know it is USA and so differences but because we are islands and have many tourists and many people moving here there are similar issues. But I agree that everywhere there is good and bad. Everyone needs to find their place. There is no perfect place. I look forward to my visit and maybe I will catch you in person Alex!! With Much Aloha! 🌺

[@RadioIlluminaticom]

Alex is legit! If you get offended by his honest take on Malta, make some coffee and take a deep breath.

[@mirojaroszak6239]

„I don’t want to be more than 12 minutes” - clocks in at 19 😆 On a serious note: Alex - keep on doing what you’re doing. People are no longer used to open discussion if they accuse you on being biased. I’ve watched a few of those „negative” videos and so far the pros still outweigh the cons. I mean, the problems that Maltese and expats alike experience in Malta exist in many European big cities (overcrowding, pollution, weird incidents, occasional crime). Just few weeks ago I read in local news about girl who had a similar gross experience. Except the offender was doing his „business” right on the high street while driving his car! Aside from the incidents like that, it looks like one’s attitude towards Malta really boils down to the level of income - you earn good money - you live an amazing life with very little to complain about. You earn little - well, the cost of living, the bureaucracy and working conditions will eat you alive. You like about anywhere else.

[@alexiaattard6038]

Don't compare us to big countries. We are a dot on the map. A small island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. We shouldn't have reached the stage of no values, no morals and corruption and dishonesty. This happened because of bad management and greediness of our country. Plus we are Roman Catholics who lost our Maltese identity. Someday hopefully we will get it back. Because we are leaving a bad situation for our kids if we continue on this path.

If you avoid the tourist places and live in the south, you don't need millions. Embrace the Maltese people and their culture and you can have a nice life. Gain their respect and you will be fine. Saying that, under 1500 a month after tax and it gets hard.

I visited for two weeks last autumn. I found Valetta crowded, noisy and touristy. Would I live there? If I had a very good job I would be willing to. With good housing on a quiet street it would be OK. Would I retire there? NO. The islands don't have enough to offer. It's awfully hot and humid. Beaches are not great. Too much traffic, poor transport. Some Filipinos told me they preferred Dubai because they had more social activities there.

[@Guzepp79]

I apologise on behalf of my fellow Maltese for the obnoxious behaviour of some local and maybe not-so-local 'animals', with all due respect to animals. We are not all the sort of uncivilised herd such as the one in the video. Pity that we all get grouped together just for being Maltese by affected expats though I can't say I completely blame them for doing so. In any case, most of us are not this sort of inhuman being.

I live in Malta in the late 90s I'm duel maltese and I loved it but I moves back to England in 2000 because I just couldn't afford to stay there. I had a small child then. But now I want to move back I'm alot older now and know alot more I just can't wait to move back one day x

[@alexiaattard6038]

Malta is not what it was in the 90's. You will make the biggest mistake in your life. Your kids will lose all the sense of morality, values and honesty. And you will live in an overpopulated country with lack of fresh air and pollution. Your home will be a dark chicken pen

"REGRETS , I'VE GOT A FEW " - But as they say, better to have tried and failed, than to have never tried at all. One has to learn from own experiences and mistakes and move on , life wasn't meant to be easy I'm told. Re - ' unfortunate distressed lady @ the beach ', I would have gone to the Police and reported the incident/s supported by the mobile phone footage. We've had cases 'here' where in time they've gone further by sexually assaulting and even murdering their victim/s - God forbids it won't start happening in Malta 🙏. Personal Safety is very important nowadays! It's very upsetting to see that currently certain sections of Malta's economy are based on "cheap labour" - it's IMMORAL 😢.

There is so many fantastic people over there and dom very anoying ones. It has changed so much during this time. Its more expensive, more crime, more cats- god….all these care that popen up. For foreigners hard to find a work that isnt lowpaid. Even my friends that are bornes there have 2-4 jobs to have to get around. Some of my friends are wealthy with Zero problems.

As a woman, you always have to be aware of danger in every country, because men exist. Some places are not safe at a certain time, certain areas. You are right to do positive feedback videos as well as negative anecdotes. however I suggest you go to the police station and get the record of rapes and assaults against women in the last decade, and by whom? Dubai men? Maltese men? then post a video so we, white women from other countries who want to go to Malta, can be well aware of the dangers and what has the Malta Government done to those criminals? What have they done to protect women who walk alone????? Thank you for your video, I almost bought a plane ticket to go there. Now I will wait for your investigation and video about the rapes and assaults against women.

I been living in Malta about three times your age. Malta before 1980 was paradise on earth We didnt need anything more We had everything Scenery clean sea beutiful view Cheap life I remember that time I bought abig house in Sliema for around 9500 euros food was cheap electricity etc were more than afforadable Then someone decided to make tourism a very important thing and what happened building started more hotels high rise concrete jungle flats. Bars and shops started poping up from all around the Island This tiny rock could handle certain ammount people but within ten years Malta changed greed for money in tourism sector started making the lives of the Maltese unbearable The last ten years were the worst thousends of people from Asia Indians Philipines and other started coming here offered good jobs or in reality being cheated as all they were allowed for cheap wages I hope that they open their mind. Now the population of the foreigners is almost or more than that of the Maltese More people more building Restaurants took all our pavements and sincerely Malta is becoming a hell for everyone Its time to study the situation before coming here things changed from heaven to hell With the over population one can hardly ride a bus

Malta today. Dishonesty, corruption, No sense of morality or values. Overpopulation, which have brought pollution. Lots of people suffer from health issues. Countryside will soon be non existent in a few years time because it is being built with high and suffocating small apartments. To live a decent life you have to work night and day. Because cost of living is high and salaries are low.Our kids are leaving because they can't afford to buy their own home though they work night and day. They can't give their kids a good upbringing because to work kids have to live in childcare hardly seeing their parents .Because grandparents and relatives have to work too to live decently. We never had people begging for food and living in shelters like we do today.Places of entertainment are non existent to serious Maltese youths. Because all you find is legal drug addicts, drunken people and fights and criminal acts

They are getting pre scammed in India- it’s not Malta or Canadas fault- Canada however has figured this out and are now trying to put a stop/cap on this/foreign students and certain things they can do.
