  "account": "IPOH, September 23 - Members of the People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) collaborated with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) to set up a tiger trap in Kampung Takung, Pos Perwor, Malaysia, following a fatal tiger attack that claimed the life of an Orang Asli man last Monday. A Facebook post by the Rela Sungai Siput (North) district office revealed that several members were deployed to assist Perhilitan in ensuring the safety of local residents and addressing the threat posed by the animal. Authorities urged residents and the public not to approach or enter tiger habitats, and to comply with all instructions from the authorities. Anyone with information about the presence of a tiger was instructed to notify the authorities immediately. The incident involving an Orang Asli man, Zamberi Angah, 42, occurred while he was foraging for rattan in the Korbu Forest Reserve near Kampung Takung, Pos Perwor, Sungai Siput. The victim's body was discovered in a bamboo thicket near a logging road, approximately 200 meters from the suspected attack site. Evidence, including tiger footprints, was found at the scene.",
