About This Image:

In 1965, Singapore was still part of the Federation of Malaysia, which had banned the usage of firecrackers since 1955. On February 16, 1965, during the Chap Goh Meh (yuan xiao) aka Lantern Festival, the ban on firecrackers was temporarily lifted for one day. A total ban on firecrackers in Singapore was enacted in 1972 after policemen were attacked for preventing the unlawful usage of firecrackers.
