  "account": "On September 29, presenter and influencer Nani Roslan refuted claims that she was detained with former minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais). Nani expressed surprise at the controversy surrounding her name and requested to clarify the situation publicly. In a video posted on her Instagram account, she stated that she never expected to have to address these allegations.\n\nNani emphasized that the speculations had become particularly upsetting, as they had turned into derogatory and demeaning comments about her as a woman. She firmly believed that no woman should be subjected to such treatment based on unfounded speculations. Nani also clarified that she had never been accused of being involved in any plan related to the incident.\n\nThroughout her career, Nani has hosted various programmes and events involving people from diverse backgrounds. She stressed that her professional engagements did not imply any endorsement of specific political views. Prior to the controversy, some parties had even blocked her and refused to collaborate with her in the last minute, associating her work with certain political parties.\n\nNani also addressed the fact that her involvement as a podcast host alongside Nik Nazmi had concluded on September 30. She urged the public to remain respectful and acknowledge that while she is a social media user, it does not grant them the right to be rude. Nani reminded listeners that freedom of speech does not permit defamation, which can have legal consequences.",
