KUALA LUMPUR — The Royal Press Office of the Johor Royal Family has called for decisive action against those behind a fake TikTok account accused of defaming and insulting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim.
In a statement posted on Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s official Facebook page, the Royal Press Office said the account, which operated under the name “Sultan Ibrahim Ismail,” appeared to use artificial intelligence (AI) to spread content deemed disrespectful to the monarch.
Among the posts was a video falsely claiming that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong favours eating pork, an allegation described as untrue and highly sensitive given that Sultan Ibrahim is a Malay ruler and a practising Muslim.
“Royal Press Office also expresses regret over another image on the account, which placed His Majesty’s face onto the body of an animal, clearly offensive and irresponsible,” the statement said.
The office emphasised that the actions constitute a serious and malicious insult to the royal institution.
“Accordingly, the Royal Press Office strongly hopes that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission will take firm action against those responsible,” it added. – May 20, 2026
