Abe Wee later said their food and drinks were rendered inedible due to the smoke and debris from the firecrackers. At one point, he was also seen rubbing his eyes because of the thick smoke.
In his post, Abe Wee stated that while he understands people are still in a festive mood since it’s Chinese New Year, there is still a proper time and place for such activities.
“We were eating and suddenly the place was full of smoke. There goes my roti sardin and iced tea, ruined by smoke and debris from the firecrackers. If you want to play, please do it at an appropriate time."
He added, "This isn’t just about Chinese New Year, but for all festive seasons. This is also not a Chinese person getting angry at other Chinese people. I just want people to have some common sense. Please respect the surroundings and others.”
Netizens resonate with Abe Wee
The post has since gained the attention of other Malaysians, many of whom agreed with Abe Wee’s concerns. Some also questioned why anyone would set off firecrackers so close to a cooking area when it was clearly unsuitable for such activities.
“He’s right. It doesn’t matter what celebration it is. If you want to play with firecrackers, please find an appropriate place that won’t disturb others. Even loud noises can bother people, let alone thick smoke. Please have some common sense.”

Another user commented, “But why set the firecrackers off there? Can’t you do it a bit further away when it’s so close to the cooking station? I would be uncomfortable too if I were there.”

@abewee1 Abe Wee faham, Raya Cina setahun sekali. Semua orang nak main mercun, nak suasana meriah TAPI tolong tengok tempat. Sebelah kedai makan dan orang tengah makan, tiba-tiba penuh asap mercun. Bazir je roti sardin dan teh ais Abe Wee. Bau asap dan kena serpihan mercun. Kalau nak main, main waktu yang sesuai. Pagi sebelum kedai buka, atau kawasan yang lebih terbuka. Ini bukan Raya Cina sahaja. Apa-apa perayaan pun sama. Dan ini bukan dari orang Cina marah orang Cina. Ini cuma "common sense". Pls respect tempat. Respect orang sekeliling. #fyp ♬ original sound - abewee
