Abstract: Recently, the government announced that it will be deploying Armed Forces of Malta (hereafter ‘AFM’) personnel to patrol the streets of Swieqi for the purpose of law enforcement.
As expected, the Swieqi Residents Association and Swieqi Local Council have welcomed this initiative. Other organisations have been critical of this deployment. Personally, I have no qualms on this deployment. I consider this to be an ordinary civilian function performed by the AFM in terms of law. [excerpt]
