THE Royal Malaysia Police is waiting for policy and guidelines from the Home Ministry with regard to the authorised sale of fireworks and firecrackers.

Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the police will adhere to guidelines and policies set by the ministry to ensure public safety.

“I recently heard about it and am awaiting the Home Ministry’s policy following the implementation of the matter,” he said today.

Yesterday, media reported that the burning and selling of fireworks and firecrackers in the country will soon be allowed, subject to new regulations and guidelines to be issued.

Local Government Development Minister Nga Kor Ming was reported to have said the matter was agreed in a cabinet meeting two days ago as one of the measures to increase the country’s revenue, and that the government will control its sales. – Bernama, February 4, 2023.
