PETALING JAYA: Finally – 15 years later – there is closure for victims of the Bright Sparklers fireworks factory explosion in Sungei Buloh, Selangor.  

Many would have forgotten the tragic event by now and even the judge who chaired the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the blast that flattened the factory and killed 22 people and injured 103 on May 7, 1991, has passed on.
