The orphaned brothers who are employed in a farm nearby were found to be selling the banned items at their home.

about RM6,000 to purchase the fireworks which were believed to be
sourced from China.
He added that police are now looking for the
supplier who smuggled the fireworks into the country and had distributed
it to the state.
