  "account": "Three young Myanmar children were released on bail following a Supreme Court decision that overturned a lower court's refusal to grant bail, in connection with a threat to an elderly woman in Malaysia. The incident occurred in Bukit Mertajam, where the children, aged between 11 and 12, were accused of attempting to scare the 71-year-old woman using various objects such as a mop, metal rod, fluorescent light tube, and a stone. The Attorney General's office had proposed a RM4,000 bail for each defendant, but the proposal was rejected. The decision has sparked criticism from Lawyers for Liberty, who urged Attorney General Dusuki Mokhtar to ensure the immediate release of the children. Latheefa Koya, a lawyer from LFL, stated that denying bail violates the law, as the attorney general's office had previously offered bail. The Malaysian Bar Council expressed relief at the Supreme Court's intervention, stating that they were initially surprised when the children were not granted bail. Further details on the case are expected to be released next week.",
