  "account": "A passenger on a Batik Air flight from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur faced a delay after a dispute over her carry-on baggage, comprising a cardboard box. This incident was captured on video by TikTok user minimanimo, who shared it on September 30th. The video showed a woman being escorted out of the aircraft by Singapore authorities. According to the TikToker, the woman insisted on stowing her box under the seat in front of her, despite a flight attendant offering to place it on an empty seat instead. The woman allegedly declined and refused to fasten her safety belt. The flight, OD804, was delayed by approximately 45 minutes, according to FlightAware. The woman, reportedly in her 20s, was surrounded by several officers as she was led off the plane. A passenger named Ke explained that the cabin crew had informed the woman that the box could not be stowed under her seat or on her lap, and that she would need to hand over the box for return upon landing. Batik Air and minimanimo have been contacted for comment.",
