The sales of fireworks can be done as long as it is in a safe manner and in accordance with the law.
Here’s why that’s important.
Content creator, Akeem Sharyzal, took to his Twitter page to showcase a video from a night market in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. In the video, a fireworks stall could be seen to be on fire, causing the fireworks to go flying into passersby and the other stalls around.
Soon after, a man with a fire extinguisher appeared to put out the fire.
This incident allegedly took place on Sunday (April 16) at 10:50pm.
According to a report by Astro Awani, the stall selling the fireworks was found to not have a license to do business.
The Dang Wangi District Police Chief ACP Noor Dellhan Yahaya shared that an investigation paper has been opened into the incident that has since also gone viral online, and the individuals involved have been identified.
This case is currently being investigated under Section 6 of the Explosives Act 1957 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
ACP Noor Dellhan has also advised the public to avoid involvement in illegal activities and that strict enforcement will be conducted.
