Bandar Tun Razak MP Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail today presented a donation to the families of two siblings who were victims of a fireworks explosion on the roof of a hotel in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan on Monday.
She presented the monetary contribution to the victims’ next of kin at their homes in Pangsapuri Seri Perindu, Cheras, Selangor.
“We will help in any way possible. We will also provide food assistance to the victims’ family members and facilitate their children’s schooling,” she told reporters after visiting the families.
Wan Azizah said the Social Security Organisation (Socso), the Federal Territory Foundation, and the Residents Association Council (MPP) for the Bandar Tun Razak Zone are also making contributions to the families.
Meanwhile, she hoped everyone would learn from this tragedy by recognising the dangers associated with combustible materials such as fireworks.
In the incident last Monday, Muhd Helmi Zulkifli, 40, died, while his brother, Muhammad Pahzdlei Zulkifli, 39, sustained injuries from fragments of fireworks that exploded at a Port Dickson hotel.
The Negeri Sembilan Department of Occupational Safety and Health announced yesterday that preliminary investigations revealed the victims, along with three of their friends, were setting up fireworks for a New Year celebration at the hotel when the explosion occurred at 11.50am.
