Cops nab two over out-of-control fireworks in Sg Petani

Incident due to chain reaction after burning of ‘Happy Bomb’ firecrackers, say district police

ALOR STAR – Police arrested two men for lighting up fireworks openly in a public place after the display spiralled out of control and sent visitors fleeing at Dataran Zero near the Sg Petani bazaar at midnight yesterday.

Kuala Muda police chief Zaidy Che Hassan said they received a report regarding the hazardous explosion of firecrackers and fireworks at the bazaar from a senior police officer attached to the Sg Petani police station at about midnight.

“The officer had received information about the incident from WhatsApp in the form of a 43-second video showing the alarming eruption of fireworks at the location.

“Investigations revealed that the incident was an unscripted chain reaction by the burning of a unit of ‘Happy Bomb’ type of firecrackers where during the explosion, fireworks toppled and strayed towards another cache of fireworks that was then ignited in large quantities,” he said here today.

Zaidy said the sky-high eruption was quite worrying as it was too close for comfort, but personnel of the Sg Petani Fire and Rescue station confirmed that there was no fire nor injuries caused to bystanders around the bazaar. 

“Following the incident, police arrested the two perpetrators, a 27-year-old man in possession of the fireworks and a 24-year-old who lit the fireworks display, for further action. The case is being investigated under Section 7(a) of the Explosives Act 1957,” he said.

In Kota Bharu, 17 cases were recorded in Kelantan from March 19 until yesterday where people suffered injuries from playing with firecrackers and fireworks.

Kelantan Health Department director Datuk Dr Zaini Hussin said two of the casualties were women, adding that a total of 12 cases were treated at Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital, three cases treated at Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital in Kuala Krai and two cases at Pasir Mas Hospital.

“All the victims were aged between 4 and 40-years-old, but most players were in the young age-group of 7-to-16 and 9-to-12-years-old.

“Four of the injured were admitted to the ward while the rest received outpatient treatment,” he said today.

He said among the injuries inflicted on celebrants playing with fireworks were burns on the hands, face and eyes. – April 9, 2024
