Firecracker ban at funerals

MBPJ's crematorium at Kampung Tunku along Jalan 229 saw 850 cremations last year.

GANGLAND funerals using firecrackers will soon be banned at crematoriums run by local councils as there is a danger of explosion with highly flammable materials close by.

According to a state government source, Selangor is drawing up regulations to ban the lighting of firecrackers at crematoriums because of the risks involved.
