As we all hoped for positive things in the new year, sadly, a tragedy has befallen a man, claiming his life. 

The 40-year-old, alongside his 39-year-old friend, worked for a fireworks installation company and had been tasked with setting up fireworks at a Port Dickson resort for the New Year's Eve celebration. 

While installation, the 40-year-old man was struck by fireworks that exploded on the resort parking lot's roof, leading to his demise due to severe facial injuries.
