SHAH ALAM: Selangor police have enlisted the assistance of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to investigate a fake social media account impersonating Raja Muda Selangor Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed that the MCMC had already removed five or six posts from the fraudulent account.
"We have also asked the MCMC to help us identify the owner of the account in question," he told reporters today.
The investigation began following a police report lodged by the Selangor Palace Office on Monday, which revealed that the TikTok account misusing Tengku Amir Shah's name and images was fake.
The account used an image of Tengku Amir Shah as its profile picture and included his name, leading to the discovery that he did not own the account.
The case is being investigated under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for making statements with intent to cause fear or alarm to the public and induce any person to commit an offence against the State or public tranquillity as well as Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act for misuse of network facilities.
