Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the teenager also suffered injuries to his fingers and palms, as well as minor wounds on his face. “The Port Dickson district police headquarters received a report on the incident today at 6.17 pm. Preliminary investigations found that the incident occurred on March 12 at about 11 pm. “The victim, together with his friends, is believed to have used about 20 ‘mercun bola’ and modified them by sprinkling sulphur into a hole in a pillar before inserting a firecracker to produce a stronger explosion,” he said in a statement here yesterday. He said a powerful explosion occurred when the victim attempted to light the firecracker with a lighter, causing him to sustain serious injuries. Alzafny said the victim was initially taken to a private hospital before being transferred to Port Dickson Hospital for further treatment.He said the case is being investigated under Section 8 of the Corrosive and Explosive Substances and Offensive Weapons Act 1958. “The case is still under investigation, and no arrest has been made so far. Police are tracking down witnesses involved to record their statements,” he said. He advised the public not to modify or mishandle firecrackers, as they can cause serious injuries and endanger personal safety as well as that of others. — Bernama
