  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: TV presenter Uyaina Arshad has been shaken by the brutal murder of 16-year-old Irene Sofiya in Batu Pahat, Johor. The three boys detained in connection with the attack have left Uyaina, 34, concerned about school safety. As a mother of three boys, she fears if she is equipping them to respect others and avoid causing harm. Uyaina emphasized that academic success alone is insufficient; parents must also raise children who understand that strength should never be used to harm others. She urged parents to instill respect and teach children how to manage anger and rejection while they are young, rather than waiting until they reach their teenage years. Uyaina reminded everyone that \"home shapes the child, school shapes the environment, and society shapes the next generation. We all have a part to play.\" The victim was discovered dead inside a school hall last Saturday. A 16-year-old student has been remanded in custody for assistance with the ongoing investigation.",
