Girl loses fingers in firecracker blast
RANTAU PANJANG: A six-year-old paid dearly for playing with firecrackers when she lost three fingers on her right hand in Taman Wahyu here in the Aug 25 incident.
Norsyafiqa Amani Zulkifli (pic) was playing with a firecracker, known asmercun bola, (fireball) infront of her house with her eight-year-old brother Alif Aqashah at about 9.30pm.
Five of the firecrackers exploded in Norsyafiqa’s hand after she failed to throw away a lighted cracker.
Her mother Siti Aminah Mohamad took her to the Pasir Mas hospital and she was later transferred to the University Sains Malaysia hospital in Kubang Kerian to undergo surgery.
Siti Aminah said doctors used skin from part of her daughter’s thighs to perform skin graft on her palm.
The girl was discharged on Wednesday.
Pasir Mas OCPD Superintendent Haliluddin Rahim when contacted, confirmed receiving the report.

Indonesian killed by firecracker
MIRI: A 19-year-old Indonesian was killed instantly after a firecracker that he placed inside a metal pipe exploded and hit his head.
Miri OCPD ACP Jamaluddin Ibrahim told Bernama Wednesday that police had yet to get the full details of the victim and another Indonesian, who was at the scene, had been brought in for questioning.
The incident took place at about 8pm Tuesday near a private fish landing jetty along Sungai Baong.
The man was believed to have placed the firecracker inside the metal pipe with the intention of launching it.
"We believe that he was checking the firecracker after it failed to launch, when it suddenly blew out from the pipe and hit him straight on the head," Jamaluddin said.
Police were still investigating the case, the first of its kind here this year, and he hoped that it would serve as a reminder to the public on the dangers of playing with firecrackers. - Bernama
