UPON LANDING ON THE CENTERLINE ON RUNWAY 29 AT MLT, THE AIRCRAFT STARED TO TRACK LEFT, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TIRE WAS ROLLED OFF THE RIM.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO TRACK LEFT WITH THE RIGHT RIM SCARING THE RUNWAY UNTIL THE SIDE LOAD FOLDED THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR UNDER THE CABIN CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE GEAR ATTACH POINT.
