  "account": "At 5:30am today, an attempted cable theft on the Kajang Line of Rapid KL's MRT system caused a temporary halt to services between Phileo Damansara and Pusat Bandar Damansara stations. The intrusion into the track area led to the cutting of power supply to the affected area to comply with safety protocols and allow the Auxiliary Police to conduct an inspection and search for suspects. Power was restored at 6:32am after necessary actions were taken. Rapid KL stated that the incident was taken seriously as it could impact train services and passenger safety. They provided alternative train services during the inspection period to ensure passengers could continue their journeys safely. The operator has lodged a police report at the Brickfields district police headquarters for further investigation. Rapid KL emphasized their commitment to working with the Royal Malaysia Police to investigate and prevent similar incidents from happening again.",
