  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: In a significant police operation dubbed Op Pedo 3.0, eight children were apprehended, along with over 2.1 million pieces of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and pornography files. The undercover investigation exposed the illicit trade of such content, which was circulated through clandestine online groups for a fee ranging from RM50 to RM60. The arrested minors are now being assessed separately from adult perpetrators, with rehabilitation being prioritized where possible. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) received 12,529 applications to remove pornographic and CSAM content from social media and messaging platforms between January and September 21, resulting in the removal of 11,665 pieces of content and the shutdown of 1,031 websites. Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil affirmed that MCMC would intensify its cooperation with police to address those exploiting network services to sexually exploit children online. Other major crimes reported this week include explosive attacks on convenience stores in Kuching, Sarawak, and the murder of an 18-year-old Myanmar refugee in Kota Baru, Kelantan. In Ipoh, Perak, three foreign students were arrested in connection with the killing of a 53-year-old man, while a disabled woman in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, was murdered by her husband and 15-year-old son, who were subsequently detained.",
