Unsightly mound: Piles of fireworks packaging and debris left behind on a football field and near drains at Kampung Jalan Daud in Muar.

KULAI: Malaysians must make it a habit to pick up after themselves after playing with fireworks, says state executive councillor Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor.

He said leaving fireworks packaging on the ground, especially in public areas, is not the way to go for Johor, which is striving to become a developed state by 2030.
