Netizens applaud civic-minded neighbours who clean up after festive Deepavali firecrackers

 

POST-DEEPAVALI and the lights come down. Or in the case of some, a good sweep up of the post-celebration mess.

A short clip shared on the X platform by Malaysia Most Viral (@MALAYSIAVIRALLL) showed some citizens dutifully cleaning up the plentiful debris after a firecracker blowout.

It applauded the civic-mindedness of the boys in the video for doing the necessary.

Netizens viewed such an attitude as much needed after each celebration as communities got together to clean up.

With others stating that while there is joy unrestrained during celebrations, the need to be civic-minded must also be there.

Whilst another offered a friendly piece of advice by urging the two guys to use a blower to avoid backache.

One netizen pointed out that debris from fireworks were still scattered all round the Batu Caves area.

However, one netizen lamented that this was a bad habit picked up from the Chinese community and was a sheer waste of money.

Instead of spending money on firecrackers, he suggested that the money would be better spent on getting essential supplies for the needy.

This is a timely reminder during celebrations. Please clean up after making a mess. Otherwise, one risks of turning a celebration sour for others in the neighbourhood. – Focus Malaysia
