  "account": "Alor Setar: Three teenage boys suffered electrical shock injuries after a flag was struck by high-voltage electricity during a vegetable market celebration in Mergong last night, causing two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old to be rushed to the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital. Chah Boon Chuan, the treasurer of the Mergong Vegetable Market Association, stated that the incident occurred around 9 p.m. when a flag was blown by strong winds while it was raining before it came into contact with the high-voltage electricity wire. The two boys who were holding the flag and two others nearby sustained injuries from the electric shock. All three are currently being treated in the HSB's red zone, and their current condition is unknown. The flag's bamboo pole is noted as the first of its kind to cause such an incident. Earlier, several videos were shared on social media showing the scene and the condition of the injured victims lying on the road.",
