Late UPDATE: 26/8/2006
Above was the description by the victim's neighbour who was working in the same place. The unfolding news the days after the event differed slightly from the above. It can be read here from the Star. Condolences to the family.
More news of youngsters mutilated by modified fireworks began to appear in the local newspapers after the above incident. Nobody seems to deterred by the dire consequences it could bring. Worst, the fathers are setting the examples on how to create the mother of all blast. Children will quickly learn. Before too long, making home made fireworks will become the tradition in the family.
If played according to the "Standard Operating Procedure", these fireworks should be low risk. Banning fireworks serves to prevent the "unlicensed bomb expert" to create their own deafening bombs.
If only such overflowing creative juices be put to good use.
