MALACCA: The Malacca government is mulling over the ban on the use of snow spray during open celebrations following numerous public complaints.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the party that sprays artificial snowflake contributed to the havoc during celebrations, especially among rowdy revellers who were out to have fun at the expense of other people.

“We will bring this up for discussion during the next state executive councillor meeting.

“The item has caused tension among revellers and residents during the recent Christmas countdown party at the Portuguese Settlement,” he said.

The morning after: Cans of snow spray were left on the floor with a pool of ‘melted snow’ when the party is over during the recent Christmas countdown at the Portuguese Settlement in Ujong Pasir, Malacca.

Mohd Ali added that the rowdy mob spared no one by spraying the snow spray indiscriminately.

“Some of them even sprayed foam onto the windscreens and side windows of passing motorists, leaving a big pile of mess on the roads.

“This irked many residents and tourists,” he said.

Inconsiderate revellers, added the Chief Minister, had even sprayed the chemical-based party item onto people’s eyes.

“The snow spray leaves a pungent smell and can cause irritation to the eyes and the nose.”

Mohd Ali said before the ban takes place, the public can lodge a police report on the culprits where action can be taken.

“It’s all right to have fun, but not with the snow spray where it can harm people and cause destruction to public property.
