  "account": "On the day of Nur Haira Wafiqah Muhammad Hamizi's birthday, a 12-year-old boy in Kampung Tambak, Batu Pahat, bore witness to a harrowing attack by five stray dogs on his 2-year-old sister. Witnessing the attack, the young boy, unable to control his emotions, repeatedly broke down in tears while recalling the traumatic event. His mother, Nur Wahyuni Harun, 36, shared her distress, stating that her daughter had sustained numerous injuries, particularly to her head and cheek, and wounds across her body. After the incident, the family, consisting of Nur Wahyuni and her husband Mohamad Hamizi Hamdan, 37, a maintenance worker, quickly returned home to Batu Pahat upon learning of the attack. The incident occurred at around 7:20 am, just 30 minutes after the family had left Batu Pahat for Johor Baru for business purposes. The boy's grandmother, Darlinda Darlis, 56, was present when the attack began and promptly called for help upon seeing the dogs surrounding the toddler. A visit from the Johor Religious Affairs Committee chairman, Mohd Fared Mohd Khaled, concluded with the young survivor in the intensive care unit of Sultanah Aminah Hospital.",
