  "account": "On August 7, Nur Amira Shahirah Azmi, a 21-year-old former training officer, was sentenced to 14 weeks in jail for assaulting a vulnerable female victim with an intellectual disability. The incident took place on August 30, 2024, when Amira shoved the victim, causing her to suffer fractures and a dislocated knee. The victim, who had previously been instructed not to help other clients, extended her hand to assist a male client in leaving a room. One of Amira's colleagues reminded her not to aid the client, which angered Amira. She stormed towards the victim, scolded her, and shoved her shoulder. Despite not visibly observing any injuries, the victim pointed to her left knee, indicating pain. The following day, other training officers noticed the victim could not walk or stand independently. Amira reported the incident to her supervisors, but claimed she was unaware of the cause of the victim's pain. The victim was hospitalized and diagnosed with a dislocation to her left knee and several fractures. She was placed on a hinged knee brace for six weeks to restore mobility.",
