Ban on firecrackers

Ban on firecrackers

From Rakyat Merdeka

Some districts in Jakarta have now been disturbed by the loud noise of firecrackers. It shows that firecracker vendors have tried to make profits by selling firecrackers ahead of a possible ban by the government on their sale.

Relevant authorities should therefore conduct raids against these vendors. Whoever ignites firecrackers in front of someone's house should be punished. Such an act could provoke a mass brawl, like the ones in Johar Baru, Berlan, Pramuka, etc. when either children or adults playing with firecrackers were reprimanded.

The police and public order officials should carry out an operation against firecrackers to prevent residents from being involved in clashes that could injure many people, as well as both claim lives and cause material losses.

I propose that the police and residents establish a team to prevent any such conflicts.
