CHUKAI (March 14): Police have reminded fireworks and firecrackers traders to comply with imposed conditions to avoid any unwanted incidents. Kemaman district police chief Supt Mohd Razi Rosli said the conditions include traders having a safe place to store fireworks and firecrackers, and have a vendor licence from local authorities. “Permits to sell fireworks and firecrackers will be revoked if traders do not comply with the imposed conditions,” he said in a statement on Saturday, following a fire incident at a stall selling such explosive items in Kampung Gong Limau near here on Friday. He said the stall trader had obtained a sales permit to sell fireworks and firecrackers, in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri, at the said location. On Friday, Bernama reported that residents of Kampung Gong Lima here had heard a loud explosion in a fire at a fireworks and firecrackers stall at 4.15am.
