With Hari Raya and Chinese New happening back to back this year, we've experienced consistent weeks of celebrations and fireworks. But with these fireworks come accidents, noise complaints and the like. So we ask our listeners: how do they really feel about fireworks, are they fun or are they a nuisance? We also discuss if there is a safer way to enjoy them.
