  "account": "Butterworth: Two parolees, Zainudin Chik Ani and Azizan Osman, face eight months in jail for entering a house without permission. Nadhirah Adam Rizalee, also 33, joins them in the sentence after pleading guilty to the crime. Both Zainudin and Azizan were scheduled to be released on September 11 under the Parole Release Programme. The men entered the 28-year-old woman's home in Jalan Padang Menora, Lahar Yooi, Tasek Gelugor, at 7:50 am on August 12. They are charged under Section 448 of the Penal Code, which may result in up to three years in prison, a fine of up to RM5,000, or both. The accused's attorneys requested leniency, emphasizing their family obligations. Zainudin supports a wife and child, while Azizan cares for his heart-ill mother. Mohammad supports two siblings and his mother. The court ordered the men to serve their sentences immediately from their arrest dates. Zainudin received an additional ten months for stealing an Oppo mobile phone and motorcycle keys in a separate incident, under Section 457 of the Penal Code, which can lead to up to five years in prison and a fine.",
