SINGAPORE - A chemical surveyor, who unlawfully let off fireworks in Yishun last November, lied to the police and tried to implicate another man during investigations.
After that, he drove off to meet his family and friends who were at a playground near Block 513A Yishun Street 51.Deputy Public Prosecutor Jean Goh said that based on witness accounts, the fireworks were loud enough to be heard from the surrounding Housing Board blocks. He later told Inspector Lim Jing Xiang that a 32-year-old man known as Mattavan Michael Douglas was the one who bought the fireworks.
On Thursday, District Judge Marvin Bay stressed that the detonation of fireworks could cause serious injuries and posed a risk of fires. His son, A. Hariprasanth, 19, admitted to a similar offence and is expected to be sentenced on April 16.
