Permit applications drop but police to tighten firework monitoring
KOTA BARU: As Hari Raya Aidiladha approaches, the Kelantan police have noted a low number of permit applications from traders intending to sell fireworks and firecrackers - a stark contrast to previous festive seasons. Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said that despite the drop in applications, police would continue to monitor trading activities, especially in public areas such as roadside stalls, markets and night bazaars. "We remind traders with valid permits to strictly adhere to the conditions set. "Non-compliance could lead to legal action, including seizure of goods and possible revocation of permits," he said. Mohd Yusoff also advised parents to remain vigilant and monitor their children's activities during the festive season, especially to prevent accidents involving unauthorised or dangerous fireworks. "Public safety is our priority. While we want everyone to enjoy the celebrations, safety should never be compromised," he said. A check around several areas in the state today found that fireworks and firecrackers were already being sold, particularly in high-traffic spots such as the 24-hour Wakaf Che Yeh night market. During the previous Aidilfitri festive season, the Kelantan Health Department reported more than 30 cases of firework-related injuries, many involving children and teenagers. "Let's not repeat past mistakes. What may seem like harmless fun could end in tragedy," Mohd Yusoff added.
