  "account": "Shah Alam: Renowned Malaysian singer Datuk Nash officially left the private medical center yesterday, marking his discharge after enduring a five-day stay following a motorcycle accident. The highlight of his recovery coincided with his 67th birthday. In an interview with Harian Metro, Nash expressed profound gratitude for his progress. \"I'm thankful that I'm getting stronger and recovering step by step,\" he shared. \"Thankfully, my injuries were limited to external wounds with no internal damage.\" Nash credited the prayers and the diligent efforts of the medical staff, from Shah Alam Hospital to the private center, for his recovery. He also expressed deep appreciation for the unwavering support from friends Datuk Awie and Ustaz Syed Putra from Mecca, whose prayers provided him with significant inner strength. Although encouraged by his doctors and children to stay longer, Nash felt prepared to return home and rest. His family played a crucial role in his milestone celebration, surprising him in his hospital room with a cake, traditional yellow glutinous rice, and a home-cooked meal. Nash, for the first time in his life, spent his birthday in a hospital room, cherishing the company of his family, which he described as \"truly special.\" The singer was involved in a collision with a car while riding his motorcycle home from the mosque last Wednesday night. The accident resulted in 24 stitches to his head and 28 to his left forehead.",
