  "account": "A seven-year-old boy was attacked by a group of stray dogs at a playground in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, resulting in injuries to his eyes, neck, head, and body. He was taken to Sultanah Aminah Hospital for treatment. Kota Iskandar assemblyman Pandak Ahmad urged immediate action to safeguard residents, especially children, from such encounters. The following day, a 15-year-old boy also sustained leg injuries after being attacked by eight stray dogs in the same vicinity. Pandak called for swift intervention, expressing concern over the repeated incidents and the potential for fatalities before authorities take action. The Iskandar Puteri City Council has been informed, and authorities are set to conduct an operation tonight. Earlier this month, a two-year-old girl was seriously injured by five stray dogs in Kampung Tambak, Batu Pahat.",
