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 as mercun 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.
