Judge Norma Ismail made the order following an application by deputy public prosecutor Ravendejit Kaur to obtain a mental health report on the accused, Persana Avril Sollunda, before the proceedings continue.

Norma ordered the 43-year-old former model to be placed under medical observation at Hospital Bahagia in Tanjung Rambutan, Perak, for one month.

“The court allows the accused to receive treatment and undergo a full psychiatric evaluation,” Utusan Malaysia quoted her as saying.

The court has set Aug 19 for the next mention of the case.

Persana was represented by R Mehgalaa, who did not object to the application.

Last month, Persana pleaded not guilty to a charge of knowingly uploading a post featuring a fabricated marriage certificate purportedly showing a union between Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim and a so-called “Crown Princess” Ratu Shana.

She is said to have committed the offence on Feb 25, using a TikTok account under the name “king.charles.ratu”.
