  "account": "In a legal case reported by Harian Metro, a 63-year-old former army reservist, Mohamad Abdullah, was sentenced to a RM1,000 fine or one month in prison for allegedly assaulting a 13-year-old boy with a penknife. The incident took place near TM35 road in Taman Tanjung Minyak, Melaka, around 5:15 pm on August 11th. The victim was reportedly chasing pigeons along the roadside when the defendant approached and asked if the victim was stealing his pigeons. The defendant struck the victim's right cheek twice, and the victim denied the accusations. The victim later sought medical attention at a clinic and filed a police report. Consultant Yayasan Bantuan Guaman Kebangsaan attorney, JC Goh, sought a minimum fine for Abdullah as he is a former army reservist with a monthly income of RM1,500, which includes supporting his wife who is not working and three children. However, the Deputy Prosecutor, Siti Nur Alia Safri, requested a harsher sentence for the defendant. The court imposed a RM1,000 fine or one month in prison if Abdullah fails to pay the fine.",
