2009 is on the doorstep

What can we expect from the New Year ?


It's New Year's Eve tomorrow and I'm sure everyone is looking forward to partying, I know I am ! So 2009 is here , the last year in this decade , this time next year will be celebrating a new decade , a decade which will bring about many changes to the world as we now it. Unfourtunatley in 2009 this dreaded Credit Crunch will remain dominating the news and there is even a potential fear that it may arrive in Malta :( . However on the positive side the United States will have a new president , Barrack Obama , a breath of fresh air after 8 years of (yes I admit it was bad ) right wing rule under George Bush . Could Mr. Obama be the saviour or he is just a dreamer ? I will be anxiously waiting to find out and will be observing his work closely. In the UK it could go from bad to worse in terms of the credit crunch and there is a slight possibility that there may be a General Election in 2009 , in which I will root for Mr. Cameron . Lets us also hope that 2009 will see the end of this terrible conflict in Gaza which is currently unfolding before our eyes.
And what will 2009 hold for Malta ? Well I do hope that the current government will be sensible when fighting the credit crunch and try and find a solution to these rising of tariffs . Also I hope that this current issue between the MUT , UMASA and the government will be resolved since both University and Juniour College students are becoming victims and the Government should do something about it . Finally I look forward to the European Parliamentry Elections in May and urge the voters ( not me :( ) to vote sensibly.


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

See you Next Week
