According to a post on Sultan Ibrahim’s Facebook page, the royal press office said these accounts circulated content claiming that the king is offering financial aid to the public during Ramadan.

“The public is advised to remain vigilant and not be easily influenced by these fake accounts, which are often used by scammers for fraudulent purposes on social media platforms.

“The royal press office would like to stress that impersonating (others) and misusing someone’s identity are criminal offenses,” the statement said.

Checks on TikTok found two videos which used images and a voice resembling that of Sultan Ibrahim.
