  "account": "BATU PAHAT, October 10 — Two young women, aged 22, perished in a car fire after a collision with an Isuzu lorry in Yong Peng. The victims, identified as Siti Nur Batrisya Mohd Khalid and Siti Nurmaisarah Abd Jalil, were both occupants of a Perodua Myvi. The accident occurred on Batu 1, Jalan Yong Peng-Ayer Hitam, around 4:21pm yesterday. Ayer Hitam Fire and Rescue Station operations commander Mohd Shamin Mohamed Salikin stated that the team received an emergency call and arrived at the scene just four minutes later. Upon their arrival, the firefighters found the car almost completely burnt, with the two victims trapped in the driver's and front passenger's seats. Despite their efforts, both victims were pronounced dead at the scene by medical officers from the Health Ministry. The victims were found in such a state that they could not be recognized. The lorry, driven by three men in their 30s, sustained no injuries. The firefighting operation, involving 16 personnel from both Ayer Hitam and Yong Peng Fire and Rescue Stations, concluded at 6:38pm. The bodies were then handed over to the police for further investigations.",
