  "account": "Kota Bharu, Malaysia: A 44-year-old nurse was stabbed six times by her husband, marking Kelantan's 32nd domestic violence case of the year, according to the Kelantan Welfare Department. The incident, which took place on October 5 in Kampung Padang Lepai near Kadok in Ketereh, also left the nurse's 78-year-old mother injured. Kelantan Welfare Department Director Che Samsuzuki Che Noh attributed the increase in domestic violence cases to factors such as economic difficulties, workplace stress, mental health issues, and drug abuse. Economic challenges, he noted, can contribute to tensions at home, especially when husbands lose their jobs or face workplace stress. The department emphasized that domestic violence extends beyond husbands abusing wives, with instances of husbands being victims as well. They would continue collaborating with the state Women Development Department to raise awareness and provide support to victims, who can seek counseling and medical assistance from relevant departments and file police reports when needed.",
