Transport Malta is being taken for a ride on the social media following a glaring spelling mistake on one of its electronic signs.

“Be cautious”, the sign says. “Life is presious”.

Of course, it should be “precious” – and this mistake is costing TM quite dearly.

MEP election candidate Arnold Cassola, who uploaded the photo on his Facebook page, wrote that the powers that be do not really know the meaning of “precious” and can’t even spell it right.

“That is why they kill all trees,” he added.
