  "summary": "A 55-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly brandishing a meat cleaver at a petrol station worker in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. The incident occurred on Jalan Pasir Panjang when the suspect, who had 15 previous criminal records, became agitated with the 26-year-old victim for taking too long to refuel his motorcycle. The suspect then took a cleaver from his motorcycle and threatened the victim, who fled the scene. The suspect tested positive for methamphetamine during a urine test. He has been remanded for four days to facilitate investigations under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.",
