SOCIAL media can be a platform for connection but also for deception.
Concerns have arisen over a TikTok account falsely claiming to represent the Tengku Ampuan of Pahang.
Is it true that an impersonator is using the Pahang Sultanah's name on TikTok?
Verdict:
TRUE
The people have been cautioned not to be deceived by a fake TikTok account using the name of the Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah.
The Istana Pahang has detected an account under the name 'Tengku Ampuan Pahang' impersonating Her Royal Highness and posting content related to Tunku Azizah.
"Tengku Ampuan only has an Instagram account, which is private," according to a post on the official Facebook page of the Kesultanan Pahang on Thursday (July 23).
Any official activities or royal statements are published only through the social media platforms of the Kesultanan Pahang, including one verified Facebook account with around 728,000 followers.
Other social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X use the name Kesultanan Pahang, while the official website of the palace is istanapahang.my.
