  "account": "Kuala Lumpur international airport's Terminal 1 became the scene of an altercation on Thursday, as a 26-year-old Bangladeshi man began shouting and impeding passengers at an airline counter around 4:40pm. Royal Malaysian Police disclosed that the suspect was scheduled to depart for Bangladesh at 10:20pm. Airport security personnel worked to quell the situation and ultimately escorted the individual to the KLIA Terminal 1 police station for further handling. However, as the man was held in the terminal, he regrettably exhibited further aggressive behavior. The police have since moved him to Kajang Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The Bangladeshi embassy has been made aware of the occurrence.",
