  "account": "A Perlis-based motivational speaker has been rearrested after police received a second report of sexual harassment allegations, according to Perlis police chief Hamzah Hashim. The 19-year-old woman who lodged the complaint claims the incidents were similar to those in the earlier case. The suspect was earlier granted police bail following his two-day remand due to the first report lodged in Padang Besar. He will now be brought to Kangar magistrates' court for a fresh remand order. The allegations against the man involve Section 509 of the Penal Code, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955. If convicted, he could face up to five years in jail, a fine of up to RM500,000, or both.",
