  "account": "The former head of the Cameron Highlands Fire and Rescue Station, Wan Muhammad Faiz Wan Asri, 31, pleaded not guilty to a charge of accepting RM2,000 in cash from a man connected to his work at the Arabella Tower office in Cameron Highlands, on May 28, 2025. The charge was laid under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which can result in a jail term of up to two years, a fine, or both, if found guilty.\n\nAt the Kuantan Sessions Court, Wan Muhammad Faiz was granted a bail of RM5,000 on the condition that he surrender his passport to the court and report to the SPRM office every month until the case is finalized. He is also prohibited from disturbing witnesses. His lawyer, Ahmad Nur Faid Afiq Aziz, requested the bail amount to be reduced due to his financial situation and means of support, including his single parenthood and the need to support his wife, son, and parents, along with the fact that he earns around RM3,000 per month.",
