  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR - A converted shipping container turned burger shop situated on a public pedestrian walkway in Sri Hartamas has sparked outrage among residents. Concerns were raised by Threads user @sulz85, who pointed out the structure's large footprint on the walkway, forcing pedestrians to find alternative routes. The area witnesses a significant flow of elderly, children, and dog walkers, making the obstruction a safety hazard. DBKL had previously placed a notice tape demanding removal within 14 days, which was subsequently taken down. Residents have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction, urging DBKL to intervene and enforce public space regulations. Many have called for a boycott until the business relocates to a proper commercial area.",
