  "account": "A policeman was discharged from the hospital after being assaulted by two foreigners in Raub, Pahang, on September 25, according to police sources. Acting Pahang police chief Datuk Azry Akmar Ayob stated that the 40-year-old corporal was released three days after treatment at Kuala Lipis Hospital and allowed to recover at home. He emphasized that the victim was not treated for any fractures in the emergency department and was kept in a normal ward in stable condition. The investigation revealed that the policeman endured head and body injuries following repeated punches from the two suspects, who are both Myanmar nationals. Both individuals were remanded until tomorrow to help with the investigation under Section 353 of the Penal Code, which deals with using criminal force against a public servant while performing their duties. The maximum penalty for this offense is two years in prison, a fine of up to RM10,000, or both upon conviction. On September 25 at approximately 2:45 am, the policeman, who was on duty at the Pamah Kulat police beat base, responded to a complaint about two foreigners causing a disturbance by playing loud music along the roadside in Kampung Pamah Kulat. Upon arriving at the scene, the officer reprimanded the duo, which reportedly angered them. The two Myanmar nationals, aged 26 and 30, who work at a plantation, were detained shortly after the incident.",
