  "summary": "In Ipoh, a 31-year-old motorist escaped injury when a tree branch fell onto his Perodua Myvi in front of the Kuala Kangsar Tenaga Nasional Berhad office. The Perak Fire and Rescue Department was alerted at 8:57am, and seven personnel from the Kuala Kangsar Fire and Rescue Station responded to the scene. Preliminary investigations revealed that the branch was from a tree over 50 years old and had become brittle, leading to its fall. Firefighters used a chainsaw to remove the branch, concluding their operation at 9:20am. No heavy rain or storm was reported at the time of the incident.",
