  "account": "IPOH, October 1 — Perak police have recorded statements from nine individuals, including the victim, as they investigate the shooting of a businessman at a petrol station in Bidor Sentral on Tuesday. Perak Police Chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin revealed that those who provided statements included three family members present in the victim's vehicle, two people in a nearby vehicle, and employees of the petrol station. The victim, currently in stable condition after receiving treatment and undergoing surgery at Seri Botani Hospital, suffered a gunshot wound to the left shoulder. Police are still attempting to determine the motive behind the incident, which remains unknown. They suspect that three individuals were involved, with one being the driver, and believe the suspects used a vehicle with a falsified registration number. CCTV footage from the petrol station, as well as other locations, was reviewed, but it was determined that the suspects did not exit the toll plaza. Police are currently investigating the possibility that the victim may have been being followed, based on the suspects' vehicle's high-speed movement before stopping in front of the victim's vehicle. The victim, a businessman with multiple businesses in Bidor, Sungai Siput, and Tapah, was initially treated at Tapah Hospital before being transferred to Seri Botani Hospital.",
