  "account": "Johor Baru: The police are looking into ways to bolster their partnership with Media Prima Bhd (MPB) by participating in future Karnival Jom Heboh events, expanding their services directly to the public. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail explained that the carnival is not just an entertainment event, but also a platform for police engagement with the public via dedicated service counters and safety awareness programs. While the collaboration may not be limited to Karnival Jom Heboh, the police hope to continue working together at other events where their services are needed, such as setting up a counter for the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department to facilitate summons payments. The Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department can also raise public awareness about police duties and foster cooperation between the community and police to maintain security. Khalid, during his visit to the carnival booths, highlighted the Perkep's opportunity to generate income and improve the economic well-being of its members. This was the Perkep's third participation in Karnival Jom Heboh, with plans to continue the collaboration at the next venue, Stadium Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur. The three-day carnival, featuring sales booths, performances, family activities, and daily necessities offers, ran until the previous day.",
