The ban on the use of aerosol foam spray in any celebration in the state is still in force, Chief Minister Mohd Ali Rustam said.

“The authorities will issue summonses on those found to have use the spray,” he told reporters after opening a seminar on Malacca’s 750 years of history in Malacca today.

He added that the use of such spray could cause disturbance to the public.

The state government enforced the use of such spray during the recent year-end and new year celebrations.

Meanwhile, Mohd Ali called on the Malaysian Institute for History and Patriotism Research to come up with books on the state’s history in various languages to promote the state to the world and attract tourists to the state.
