  "summary": "Thick smoke near the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE) has gone viral, causing concern among motorists. A video shared on Threads showed a grey plume of smoke engulfing an area beyond the Sentul toll plaza, with vehicles slowing down to navigate through it. The source of the smoke, claimed by the uploader to be a drain near the highway, has not yet been confirmed. The cause of the smoke remains unclear, whether it be a fire or another incident, and whether any injuries have occurred. The New Straits Times has contacted the Fire and Rescue Department for further information on the incident.",
