  "summary": "Four Pakistani nationals, including two women, have been arrested in connection with a robbery that resulted in the injury of a 43-year-old policeman in Penang, Malaysia. The incident occurred near a petrol station in Permatang Pauh on Tuesday, when the suspects, armed with sharp objects, robbed the officer and fled with his personal belongings, causing an estimated loss of RM10,000. The suspects were arrested during two raids in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. They have been remanded for six days until November 17 to assist with the ongoing investigation, which is being conducted under Section 394 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt while committing robbery. The suspects are believed to be from a Central Asian country, and the police are investigating their modus operandi, which involved approaching members of the public at petrol stations seeking donations before carrying out robberies.",
