A video of the incident posted on Threads shows fireworks set off from what appears to be the open deck of a Housing and Development Board (HDB) multi-storey carpark.

Threads user Eena_sg said in a post that the entire display lasted about 20 seconds: "I heard what sounded like 'gun shots' at 11.14pm. Fireworks on a Friday night?"

They have since set their account to private.

Several others urged the user to make a police report using the video for safety reasons.
