She said this in reference to a TikTok account user “shafeqyahya”, who had posted pictures of several gifts from Istana Bukit Serene here.

Raja Zarith Sofiah said she did not know the individual.

“I know the gifts and they were actually gifts to some senior Johor state government officers as a sincere appreciation for their services.

“I do not know who this ‘shafeqyahya’ is and I suspect the gifts have been misused to gain a following and popularity on social media, seemingly as having a close relationship with the Johor royal family,” Raja Zarith Sofiah posted on the Royal Johor Facebook page today.

She said a police report would be lodged to investigate if there was an element of abuse or impersonation as a Johor government officer.

Earlier, several TikTok video clips shared by the account holder showed gifts from the Johor palace, such as pendants, chains, gold coins, a set of pens and Islamic prayer beads as well as “samping raya” (sarong).
