  "account": "Loga Chandran Ramachandran, a 27-year-old Sitiawan native, pushed himself to the limit during Merdeka week, climbing 12 peaks across seven states within a week. His determination overcame setbacks including an insect bite-induced allergic reaction. The Malaysia Book of Records acknowledged his achievement on September 18. Known for consistent training, Loga's initiative aimed to showcase Malaysia's spirit and discipline. Despite facing muscle strain, leg cramps, and nerve pain, he completed the challenge at Gunung Siku in Pahang. His 12 peaks included Gunung Ledang, Gunung Datuk, Gunung Rembau, Gunung Berembun, Gunung Hitam, Gunung Brinchang Barat, Gunung Jasar, Gunung Sarut, Gunung Jerai, Gunung Kerunai, Gunung Ruil, and Gunung Siku. Loga, now aiming for 18 peaks in a week, also plans a \"Unity Hike\" to unite Malaysians. He emphasized perseverance, hoping his record inspires others to never give up.",
