  "account": "KTMB, the Malaysian railway company, reported seven instances of people trespassing on railway tracks between January and September this year, causing disruptions to train services. The most recent incident occurred on Sunday when an SUV entered the tracks at Port Klang Station via a level crossing gate. The driver of the vehicle was unharmed. KTMB stated that no damage was found to the railway tracks, signalling systems, or overhead line equipment following the removal of the vehicle and clearing of the tracks. A video of the SUV on the tracks became viral on social media. KTMB cautioned that trespassing, vandalism, and cable theft have the potential to disrupt train services and endanger both passengers and railway personnel. Damaging railway property is a serious offense under the Railways Act 1991 and the Land Public Transport Act 2010, which may result in penalties including fines, imprisonment, or both upon conviction, according to a statement released by KTMB.",
