The office said the video uses artificial intelligence (AI)-generated visuals and audio to replicate the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s face and voice.

“The public is advised to remain vigilant and not be easily influenced by such videos, which are often used by scammers for fraudulent purposes on Facebook and other social media platforms,” the office said in a statement.

It also reminded the public that impersonating a royal figure or misusing identities is a criminal offence, and that stern action will be taken against those found to be involved in such activities.

On Sunday, the Pahang palace identified several TikTok accounts circulating AI-generated videos featuring an image of the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, purportedly offering assistance to the public.

The palace said the videos were a misuse of the Pahang ruler’s image for fraudulent and deceptive purposes.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is investigating the case under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which prohibits the improper use of network facilities or services.

Offenders may face a maximum fine of RM50,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both, upon conviction.
