  "account": "A 36-year-old Malaysian man slapped a woman in a Kuala Lumpur shopping mall on November 1, according to officials. The incident reportedly occurred after the woman shoved the man's seven-year-old son from behind, causing him to fall, and struck his two-year-old daughter on the head. The family was walking through the mall together. A viral video shared on social media showed the man confronting the woman, who was dressed in a yellow top and black skirt, while security guards attempted to intervene. The man can be heard shouting at her, and she subsequently struck him twice in the face, causing him to fall back and stumble. Police arrived and held the man back as he continued to shout at the woman. Another user shared a WhatsApp conversation between the man and a friend, which alleged that the woman had pushed the man's son and slapped his daughter before the altercation. Malaysian police stated that they received a report from the man on November 1 and are currently investigating the incident, urging the public to avoid speculation.",
