  "account": "A man armed with a knife attempted to force his way into the Kedah government complex, Wisma Darul Aman, in Alor Setar today. Located in the capital city of Kota Setar, Wisma Darul Aman serves as the residence of the Sultan of Kedah, the state assembly chambers, the Menteri Besar's office, and various government departments.\n\nUpon spotting the security post, a member of the security team pursued the suspect, eventually apprehending him and asking the reason for his intrusion. The knife-carrying individual drew a 15cm-long blade from his pocket, brandishing it in an apparent act of aggression. Despite the security guard's intervention, the man managed to escape before the police arrived on the scene.\n\nThe individual had no prior criminal history, but exhibited signs of drug influence when apprehended. Subsequent testing revealed traces of methamphetamine and amphetamine in his system.",
