  "account": "A minor earthquake measuring 3.4 on the Richter scale shook the Temenggor region near Gerik early Tuesday morning, affecting residents in nearby villages. The quake struck at 12:06am, centered 9km northeast of Hulu Perak at a depth of 10km. Accounts from residents on social media describe the tremor, which caused beds, windows, and house structures to shake. Mas Zaizeli Ibrahim, a Kampung Bagan Baru resident, saw a loud noise captured on his CCTV as his bed and windows rattled. Muhd Nafis from Kampung Jagor likened the sensation to movement beneath the ground. Mahani Zahedin from Kampung Jong initially thought the shaking was caused by something on her roof. Zamzidah Mat Amin noted feeling dizzy and swaying as she was about to sleep. Other residents reported hearing a loud noise prior to realizing the earthquake had occurred.",
