WATCH: Shirtless Man Purposefully Throws Firecrackers Off Balcony, Nearly Injuring Elderly Man And Grandson
The Diwali festival is also known as the 'festival of lights,' celebrated to remind people of the 'victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.' However, many have forgotten the meaning of the festival.
A Facebook user shared a video earlier today, showing a shirtless man throwing firecrackers off his balcony in one of the apartments in Penang. Allegedly, the firecrackers almost hit an elderly man and his grandson, who were playing badminton on the ground floor.
The shirtless man was seen lighting up a firecracker on his balcony before throwing it off. According to the poster, an elderly man was playing badminton with his grandson on the ground floor at the time. They were shocked by the loud "pop" sound that came from the firecrackers, and the elderly man shouted back at the shirtless man. However, the shirtless man did not stop there and threw a second firecracker immediately after.
Luckily, no one was hurt by the firecrackers. However, this incident has raised public safety concerns. Many netizens were not happy with this man's actions, tagging PDRM in the Facebook post comments.
