  "account": "IPOH, September 3 — The Ipoh police are probing a viral video showing two children seated on the roof of a moving multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), according to Astro Awani. Ipoh district police chief Assistant Commissioner Muhammad Najib Hamzah stated that the police have not yet received any report about the incident, but they are in the process of identifying the vehicle's owner. \"We will identify [the owner]. If they are indeed children, we will investigate the matter under the Child Act 2001,\" he said when contacted by reporters.\n\nThe video, which circulated widely on social media yesterday, depicted two girls perched on the roof of a luxury Toyota Alphard MPV. It is believed that the children had climbed out through the vehicle's sunroof while it was in motion along the road. The incident allegedly occurred from the Meru exit towards Jalan Jelapang-Simpang Pulai, alongside the North-South Expressway. The recording, captured by a nearby motorist, sparked criticism from netizens regarding the potential danger posed to the children.",
