  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: The Pahang Palace has vehemently refuted allegations made in a fabricated TikTok video regarding an alleged recent visit to Indonesia by the Tengku Mahkota of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah. A Facebook statement from the Pahang Sultanate revealed that the video, purportedly posted on a TikTok account under the handle yayasan.hilmi.fir, made baseless claims that the Crown Prince had journeyed to Indonesia to observe a religious ceremony performed by someone identified as an ustaz (religious instructor). The video, it is claimed, does not feature the Tengku Mahkota of Pahang at any point. The palace clarified that the video is a fraudulent creation, designed to deceive the public and gain traction through a social media account suspected of being run by scammers. The palace's post expressed outrage over the dissemination of misleading information that exploited Tengku Hassanal's name for fraudulent purposes. It denounced the act as an irresponsible scam attempt that could damage the reputation of the royal institution.",
