Police arresting two men for setting off fireworks that caused chaos and sent people running at Dataran Zero near the Sungai Petani bazaar have highlighted the dangers of mishandling fireworks. The incident occurred late at night on Monday, April 8th, when a senior police officer reported a hazardous explosion of firecrackers and fireworks at the bazaar. A video of the alarming eruption was circulated on WhatsApp. Investigations revealed that the incident was a result of chain reaction caused by the burning of a firework called the ‘Happy Bomb’, which then ignited another cache of fireworks. Fortunately, there were no reports of fire or injuries to bystanders. The two perpetrators, a 27-year-old man in possession of the fireworks and a 24-year-old who ignited the display, have been arrested and are currently under investigation.
This incident serves as a reminder of the risks involved in handling fireworks irresponsibly. In Kelantan, Malaysia, for example, 17 cases of injuries related to firecrackers and fireworks were recorded between March 19th and the present day. The victims, primarily young people between the ages of four and 40, suffered burns on their hands, face, and eyes. The majority of the injured were in the seven-to-16 and nine-to-12 age groups. It is crucial for both parents and authorities to educate young people about the proper handling and dangers of fireworks.
