Two men were fined yesterday over a "fireworks war" in Senawang, in which a recording of the incident went viral on social media last week.

Seremban police chief Nanda Ma'arof said the men, aged 22 and 33, pleaded guilty at the Seremban Magistrate’s Court and were fined RM300.

They were charged with selling fireworks without a permit, under the Explosives Rules 1923.

Six others arrested over the same incident were released on bond while another two were freed.

He said the men arrested, aged 19 to 42, were buyers and traders of fireworks.

They were seen participating in a "fireworks war" in a 29-second clip.

The incident happened in Jalan BPS3, Taman Bandar Prima, Senawang at 1.36am on May 4, police said.

In the clip, the men directed handheld firecrackers at each other in a game of combat.

The video was captioned "Malaysia versi Brazil".

"I would like to remind the public to take precautions against such dangerous acts during festive seasons," Nanda said.
