Fireworks at Bukit Batok

And despite legal fireworks being hard to come by, some residents at Bukit Batok West got to enjoy a stunning display in the evening of June 8.

Those living further away might have heard the loud thudding noises from the fireworks.

Fireworks from school event

As opposed to what most people think, the firework display which lasted for about five minutes was actually legal.

The fireworks were set off from an international school, Dulwich College, in the vicinity which had applied a permit for this prior to that evening, according to Stomp.

The fireworks display was part of the programme of its Founder's Day.

This year marks the 400th anniversary in the United Kingdom and fifth anniversary in Singapore for the school which explained the elaborate celebration.
