  "account": "At approximately 3am this morning, heavy rainfall triggered the collapse of a fence wall under construction in Seremban, burying three vehicles beneath concrete blocks. The homeowner, V. Tiagarajan, 43, awoke to a thunder-like sound and discovered the fallen structure damaging the cars of his neighbors. Tiagarajan rushed outside to assess the damage, which included a Toyota Vios, Perodua Viva, and Proton Persona. He informed the contractor about the incident and has lodged a police report, stating that the wall was expected to be completed in two weeks. While no injuries were reported, Tiagarajan expressed concern for the damage to his neighbors' vehicles. May Lim, 58, another witness, recounted being awakened by her child's car alarm, only to find the wall had collapsed onto her child's Toyota Vios and the Perodua Viva parked outside. She accepted responsibility, acknowledging that her neighbor would take care of the repairs. The contractor has assured that the wall will be rebuilt.",
