  "account": "In a harrowing incident at a petrol station located along Jalan Samagagah in Permatang Pauh, a 43-year-old man sustained injuries after being robbed by a group of four individuals who appeared to be foreigners. The robbery, which occurred around 11:30 am, involved two men and two women, believed to originate from Central Asian countries. The suspects aggressively approached the victim, who had stopped by the station to solicit donations, and threatened him with sharp metal objects. This resulted in injuries to the victim and the swift theft of his personal belongings, with a total loss amounting to RM10,000. The group's modus operandi involved first attracting the attention of passersby at the petrol station through their pleas for monetary donations, before swiftly committing the robbery. Police chief ACP Nik Aminuddin Raja Abdullah urged the public to remain vigilant and not fall prey to such deceitful tactics. Furthermore, he advised the public to seek immediate assistance and protection at petrol stations should they encounter suspicious situations or threats. Anyone with information on the incident is encouraged to contact investigating officer ASP Marsila Hamzah at 019-472 5217 to contribute to the ongoing investigation.",
