In his vlog today, Salvu Mallia points out how, as a nation, we lack a sense of humour and takes matters too personally.

People who cannot take a joke either have something to hide or suffer from an inferiority complex, he says.

He makes reference to the recent public uproar after he criticised the dress worn by Mrs Michelle Muscat when she and Prime Minister Joseph Muscat met US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.
